Web of Secrets

The Mana Arts Saga, Book 1

A hacker uses her unique skills to unlock the secrets of mana arts and spacetime.

Mana artists rule the world, and the path to power is a well-kept secret, restricted to state-approved programs and schools.

Akari Zeller will never be a mana artist. Not if society has its way. She's a Bronze with no money, no family, and no connections. But technology is advancing too. And to a skilled hacker like Akari, no secret is safe forever. The dark web holds the keys to true power, advancement, and her only chance of survival.

Web of Secrets began as a webnovel with over two million hits on Royal Road. It's a cultivation series where magic and martial arts meet modern technology. Perfect for fans of Cradle and Mother of Learning.

Amazing, definitely will be coming back for another listen.
