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.
On her 23rd birthday, Nadia Winters receives a mysterious piece of magical tech from Myst-and her world fractures. The device, a sleek marvel of Numinal engineering, doesn't just reveal her hidden powers as a witch-it dissolves the decades-old protection spell her grandmother cast to keep her safe from a dark inheritance. With the spell broken, Nadia's bloodline is exposed, and so is the ancient Blood Oath that binds her family to a powerful vampire crime lord, Mercurio.
Now hunted by a demon bounty hunter and cornered into a deal she never agreed to, Nadia is forced to move to San Francisco and infiltrate Myst, a glamorous tech startup where magic and innovation collide. Her mission: spy on her new employer and report back to Mercurio-without getting caught.
But Myst isn't what she expected. The company pulses with life, mystery, and a strange sense of belonging. Rune Christiansen, its enigmatic CEO, is as infuriating as he is magnetic, and as Nadia's deception becomes a tangled web she can barely manage, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur.
When a series of brutal demon attacks rocks the city, Nadia and her team launch an investigation that uncovers secrets far darker than anything she imagined. With Mercurio closing in, her double life unraveling, and Rune inching closer to the truth, Nadia must decide what kind of witch she wants to be-and what price she's willing to pay for her freedom.
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.
