From publisher blurb:
When wealthy industrialist Wayne Morgan emerged from a very messy and very public divorce with the announcement that he’d found a way to meld magic and technology, the business world laughed while the banks winced. For their part, the media wanted a front-row seat for the inevitable debacle. After all, magic didn’t exist. It couldn’t exist. Morgan put on a dazzling display of his first cybermantic prototype, the Prevaricator Predictor, to a skeptical but intrigued live audience and worldwide spectators watching by stream. His test subjects placed a metallic circlet on their head and proceeded to have several people attempt to lie to them at random. The test subjects demonstrated an astounding 92% accuracy rate at detecting lies before they heard them. Nothing seemed capable of fooling the magitech. It proved superior to any lie detector in existence.
As a flood of investors tripped over themselves to become involved with this new company, Cybermancy erupted onto the scene. Morgan’s company achieved the impossible and began to make money by combining magic with tech—something no one else seemed able to accomplish. The world was forced to admit the truth: magic existed, and the supernatural was real.
