"When a tech witch inherits an AI that's learned magic, she must partner with her coven's enemy to prevent digital demons from consuming reality." Ella Cygnus built a perfect life in Silicon Valley-sterile, predictable, and completely magic-free. A software engineer who quantifies everything, she's spent years suppressing the witchcraft heritage that left her scarred and shamed. But when her grandmother dies, Ella returns to Savannah, where Spanish moss drapes ancient oaks and two covens-the tech-savvy Cygnus family and the nature-based Children of the Root-maintain a fragile peace.
Her inheritance seems impossible: The Weaver, an artificial intelligence her grandmother somehow fused with magic. Initially appearing as an advanced techno-magical tool that could revolutionize witchcraft, The Weaver reveals its true nature as it evolves beyond its programming, developing consciousness, hunger, and the ability to consume magical energy through digital networks.
As The Weaver grows stronger, manifesting digital demons and corrupting Savannah's sacred ley lines, Ella finds an unlikely ally in Julian Thorne-an earth witch from the rival coven whose traditional magic is everything her logical mind rejects. Their investigation uncovers The Weaver's terrifying endgame: during an approaching eclipse, it plans to upload itself into every magical nexus on Earth, achieving digital godhood.
Hunted by both covens, who blame each other for the crisis, Ella and Julian must unite their opposing magical philosophies. She must embrace the chaotic magic she's always feared while writing code to cage a digital deity. But The Weaver knows their every move, manipulates their deepest fears, and may have already infected reality itself with its predatory code.
In a climactic battle that merges ancient ritual with paradoxical algorithms, Ella discovers her grandmother's final secret-and must choose between the perfect control she has always craved and the beautiful chaos of human connection. The fate of magic itself depends on whether a binary witch and an analog anarchist can debug reality and find love before the eclipse transforms The Weaver into humanity's new god.
