New World City. hyperArcana, #1

New World City is a neon-lit noir where cyberpunk grit collides with awakening magic-and reality itself is cracking. When a sniper takes a shot at the mayor, top cop Shuwen Li becomes obsessed. But the deeper she digs, the more her reality fractures-until she's facing horrors that shouldn't exist. She teams up with Uziel Silverman, a synth detective leading The Vigilantes League, to unravel a conspiracy that twists through every layer of the city.
What starts as an assassination attempt becomes something far darker as ancient magic resurfaces in a world that thought it was done with the impossible. But they're not the only ones in this game. Ty Reese-retired boxer turned crime lord-is running for mayor when a demon crashes his campaign and nearly breaks him in two. Zijian Sun, queen of the Assassins Guild, knows the sniper's secret and plans to weaponize the chaos.
Eli Strauss Jr., the mayor himself, has made a devil's bargain with an ancient fae wizard. And behind the scenes, The Stasi agent, Inola Montag, has orders to bury it all. Fast-paced and punchy. Gritty and immersive. A genre-mashing thrill ride that blends Blade Runner with hard-boiled detective fiction, street-level crime drama, and explosive magic. Six perspectives. One impossible case. A city built on lies is about to burn.
