For the first time, Nate Perez is living in a city with a Magic Born zone. He's never given much thought to the laws that segregate Normals and Magic Born, until a high-profile murder investigation takes him to the local zone. His first encounter with a witch sparks his curiosity, and a burgeoning attraction.

Calla Vesper is one of a growing number of witches who can enter cyberspace via astral projection. Trancehacking is a closely guarded secret, used to help the Magic Born underground. Now she's breaking the rules by using her gift to help solve a murder, and dig into secrets that hit way too close to home.

But the biggest rule she's breaking is falling for a Normal.
