ABOUT DYSTOPIA (SEVENTH AGE)
When magic has returned to the world, companies start selling it—to those who can afford it and survive it.
Magic has exploded back into the world—vampires, demons, ghosts,
and other creatures of legend crawled out of the shadows, finally
escaping their prisons—and the power previously only in the hands
of secretive societies like Skull & Bones and the fascist Thule
Society has been laid bare for the entire world to see.
After the initial shock, businesses did the expected: found a way
to turn magic into profit. The occult “gold rush” at the forefront
of magically imbued politics built a world of wealth inequality,
greed, and innovation.
Bartender Jane Auburn was an early adopter of a new drug sponsored
by Pelican Pharmaceuticals that allows her to move at the speed of
vampires and match the strength of demons.
Soon, she discovers the price for such powers may be more than
she can pay: her life. Thrust into the front lines of toxic magic
and occult corporate warfare, she will need to uncover what other
skeletons these new companies are hiding. Preferably before she
clocks out from an overdose or has to bite her tongue and endure
her mandated corporate exploitation!
At least she was not the only one in Austin, Texas to sign up for
magic in a pill. After all, as it says in all their commercials,
“Pelican Pharmaceuticals: they keep you going even when you’re
dead!” And how bad can the side effects possibly be?
