Description
“A spicy romantic dystopian fantasy mindfuck of an epic read.”
– SR Breaker, USA Today Bestselling author
Power like her's comes with a price.
When Seven Jones is blackmailed back to community college after years of drifting, the last thing she expects to stumble into is an underground world of magic.
Suddenly surrounded by a secret society of spell-slingers, Seven discovers a hidden side of herself – and a power she can barely control. Struggling to rein it in, she uncovers a dangerous shortcut, a cheat no one else dares to use. It works… but at a terrible cost.
When a fellow student turns up dead and monsters begin stalking the campus, suspicion falls squarely on Seven. Is her reckless trick fueling the chaos, or is someone setting her up?
Her only ally is Logan, an infuriatingly hot ex–Navy SEAL with secrets of his own, who makes resisting temptation almost impossible. Together, they’ll face dragons, krakens, and the shadows within themselves. But in the magical underworld, nothing is what it seems – and not everyone makes it out alive.
Perfect for fans of Emily Tesh, Naomi Novik, and Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, Dot Slash Magic is a sizzling, fast-paced urban fantasy full of spice, danger, and twists that will leave you reeling.

About the Author
Liz is a freelance writer, author, and full-time, off-grid liveaboard sailor. She’s currently sailing around the world with her boyfriend and dog, turning her real-life adventures into speculative fiction. Her books explore themes of mental health, addiction, technology-creep, climate change, and the looming collapse of society (but, like...in a fun way.) When she's not penning novels about the impending apocalypse, you can find Liz swimming, hiking, telling her dog “I love you” for the bazillionth time today, or watching Taskmaster.
Reviews
"With a distinctly sharp and sarcastic style, Shipton draws readers into this mind-bending science fantasy… Witty dialogue, surprising plot spirals, and resonant questions about machine learning make this a treat."
– Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Dot Slash Magic is your next urban fantasy addiction: magic, mythical creatures, humor, and a cast of delightful weirdos you’ll want to go on plenty of adventures with.”
– A.L. Brody, internationally bestselling author of Dating & Dismemberment
"A spicy romantic dystopian fantasy mindfuck of an epic read."
– S. R. Breaker, USA Today Bestselling Author
"What a clever and unique read! Shipton has a snarky, fresh voice I hadn’t realized I needed in my life. Seven is delightfully glib and vulnerable, and the magic system is unlike anything I’ve read before. The witty banter, sexual tension, and perfectly placed cynicism are oh-so-good!"
– Lindsey Pogue, author of the bestselling Savage North Chronicles
"At its heart, Dot Slash Magic is a conversation about the unpredictability of artificial intelligence and its role in the creative world. It’s about discovering who we are, and the magic of what makes us human."
– Herman Steuernagel, bestselling author of The Bartender Between Worlds
"A fun, fresh urban fantasy, Dot Slash Magic kept me turning pages late into the night. I'll never look at AI the same way again."
– Becky James, USA Today Bestselling Author
"The cleverest execution of a magic school on a modern college campus."
– Brady Hunsaker, author of Scorned Prince
