Summary
Ravirn is not your average computer geek. A child of the
Fates—literally—he's a hacker extraordinaire who
can zero in on the fatal flaw in any program. Now that
twenty-first-century magic has gone digital that makes him a
very talented sorcerer. But a world of problems is about to be
downloaded on Ravirn—who's just trying to pass his
college midterms.
Great Aunt Atropos, one of the three Fates, decides that
humans having free will is really overrated and plans to rid
herself of the annoyance—by coding a spell into the Fate
Core, the server that rules destiny. As a hacker, Ravirn is a
big believer in free will, and when he not only refuses to
debug her spell but actively opposes her, all hell breaks
loose.
Even with the help of his familiar Melchior, a sexy
sorceress (who's also a mean programmer), and the webgoblin
underground, it's going to be a close call...
