THE MAGICIANS X SILICON VALLEY SLOW-BURN ROMANTASY PERFECT FOR FANS OF LEIGH BARDUGO AND SARAH J. MAAS
New job. New powers. Ancient vampire problem. Nadia’s just trying not to set her desk on fire—or fall for her boss—before a Blood Oath claims her soul.
In San Francisco, the startup scene belongs to the Numinals—creatures of myth, folklore, and shadow who’ve traded in wands for venture capital. At the top of the food chain is Myst, a cutting-edge company fusing magic and technology to shape the future, unlock hidden potential, and quietly rewrite the rules of reality.
Some humans, known as Sixers, possess a rare sixth sense that lets them see through Numinal glamours. Rarer still are the Septers—those born with a seventh sense, capable of bending reality itself to their will.
THE CHARACTERS
NADIA WINTERS
Newly awakened to her powers, Nadia is a whip-smart, sharp-tongued witch stumbling her way through the high-stakes world of magical startups. She may feel like a n00b, but she’s no fool—and she’s falling hard for the spellbinding chaos of the Numinal world. Fast learner. Reluctant heroine. Still figuring out how not to set her eyebrows on fire.
RUNE CHRISTIANSEN
CEO of Myst and every Numinal’s favorite brooding enigma, Rune is a powerful sorcerer and visionary genius. Mysterious, magnetic, and maddeningly unreadable, he’s devoted to helping Numinals coexist peacefully with humans—unless someone gets in his way.
ALEXANDER MERCURIO
Nadia’s vampire overlord. Yes, really. A velvet-voiced tyrant with fangs, fashion sense, and a cutthroat VC portfolio, Mercurio controls San Francisco’s supernatural underworld with charm and terror in equal measure. He owns the night, the clubs, and—unfortunately—Nadia, thanks to an ancient Blood Oath that refuses to stay buried.
A dazzling blend of modern fantasy, slow-burn romance, and moral intrigue, City of Sevens is the addictive first installment in a series about power, legacy, and the courage to rewrite your fate.
