Paul Tsabo, a bureaucromancer and political activist fighting to decriminalize magic, finds his fugitive existence and his daughter's life endangered when he accidentally opens a dimensional broach on American soil. His efforts have made him the government's primary target, and now, with his daughter Aliyah, a videogame-mancer with dangerous powers, he is pursued by the government's elite anti-'mancer squad, the Unimancers. This pursuit leads them to Europe, where Aliyah is increasingly tempted by the dark influence of the Unimancers, who are themselves former 'mancers corrupted into a hive mind.

The premise sets up a high-stakes urban fantasy thriller with a strong focus on family dynamics amidst magical conflict.

The exploration of a unique magic system, 'bureaucromancy' and 'videogamemancy,' hints at creative world-building. The story likely appeals to readers who enjoy complex magic systems, morally gray characters, and a blend of action and personal stakes.
