Webmage Mass market paperbound - 2006
by Kelly McCullough
Ravirn is a computer hacker/sorcerer extraordinaire in 21st-century digital magic. When one of the three Fates uses a computerized spell to erase human free will, Ravirn opposes her--and all hell breaks loose in this first title of an all-new contemporary fantasy series. Original.
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...

Excerpt
No time for second thoughts now
Scorched Earth is not a spell that can be aborted halfway. Ultimately, all spells draw power from the same source, the primal chaos that churns between the worlds. But my family mostly uses the predigested forces my grandmother and her sisters channel into the net via their mainframe webservers. Scorched Earth isn’t like that. It taps directly into the interworld chaos. That means it’s both very dangerous and very powerful. It also means I don’t have to have web access to run it. Melchior’s voice interrupted my train of thought.
“There’s no carrier wave and no Mweb line,” he said. “I think we just took the entire net down, Boss.”
“Sweet necessity,” I murmured. “What have I done now?”
Media reviews
“The most enjoyable science fantasy book I’ve read in the last four years.”—Christopher Stasheff
