Cameron Green

Magic is here, ready to store your data and keep your cell phone charged... endlessly. So, of course the U.S. Congress decided to pass a law outlawing it as “witchcraft.” Cameron Green, a Minneapolis-based magitech engineer, has his life and career turned upside down by the ban. Fortunately, Japan’s magic industry is still white-hot...ALT
and he’s quickly recruited by Eika Fujiwara to work on her top-secret project. For an American finding himself thrust into the complex and cutthroat world of Tokyo’s megacorps, one question takes precedence: Who can you trust?ALT
Cameron: As the straight cis upper middle class white male American, I figured I ***was*** the main character and I am kinda relieved not to be. Eika: Most of the book does take place in Japan, Cameron-san…ALT

Swimming against the current and swept together by circumstance, these six strange bedfellows have everything to lose.

(Sorry, Cam, you have some stereotypical MC vibes but you’re more of an inciting incident.)

Starting September 12, we’ll be posting The Butterfly Koi as a serial novel. Sign up now to read from the beginning at https://syphoncontinuity.substack.com.

Eika Fujiwara

Magic is here, ready to store your data and keep your cell phone charged... endlessly. But what the packaging won’t say is magic doesn’t work for everyone. Eika Fujiwara, heiress to the Fujiwara Heavy Industries mining empire and face of Diet Breakfast Water, is determined to repair the magical damage caused by her family’s ecological misdeeds.ALT
Together with her best friend, the brilliant engineer Misora Toyama, she’s paving the way for the next generation of magitech, this time available to all. When development hits a roadblock, the pressure is on to use any tool, legal or not, to continue. What trade-offs are they willing to make for an invention that might change magic forever?ALT

Swimming against the current and swept together by circumstance, these six strange bedfellows have everything to lose.

(But does one of them count as a main character?)
