Technomancer
A fugitive NSA hacker and a moon priestess. A spell brought them together, and neither can tell if the love is theirs.
Finn Miller built the backdoor. Every phone and router on Earth carries a quantum key he designed for the NSA, and the men holding it are using it to buy senators and move people like cargo. He has the proof. The agency has his name. He's slipping out the back of a New York building, agents in the stairwell above him, when he finds a woman sobbing in the alley. Her name is Elara. She's a priestess from another world, and a chaos mage has burned a compulsion into her soul: find the most powerful technomancer on Earth and bring him back. Finn thinks a spell might be a signal. Signals can be jammed. What he learns is that magic and quantum mechanics are the same force, studied from opposite ends. The mage who sent Elara wants that force in hands that obey him. And Elara can't tell whether what she feels for Finn is hers or the spell's. Book 1 of Technomancer. Science fantasy with a surveillance thriller running through it, for adult readers.

Excellent Book. Fast pace, kept my attention throughout the entire book. It was easy to become attached to the characters. I highly recommend.
Technomancer by Charlie Forêt is an inventive and engaging blend of fantasy and science fiction that hooked me from the very first chapter. The writing is vivid, the pace fast, and the stakes high, making it hard to put down. Fans of genre-crossing adventures will find this an absolute gem.
This magical adventure story drew me right in and kept my attention until the very last page. It's a unique tale full of ancient magic, power, and modern/futuristic technology. The author did an impressive job with the emotionally complex and relatable characters (especially Elara, her Moon Goddess, and Finn) and vivid world-building; I felt like I was right there in the story! I enjoyed the very thought-provoking themes of good vs evil, love, loyalty, self-discovery, and heroism. It made me think long after the last page. I highly recommend this book to all fantasy, magic, and tech-world enthusiasts.
A compelling fusion of fantasy and science fiction. At its center is Elara, a priestess whose bond with her Moon Goddess is severed by a sinister spell. Thrust into an unfamiliar, technology-driven world, she finds herself vulnerable yet determined. The addition of Finn creates an intriguing dynamic because of his rational and technical perspective. I mostly enjoyed this book because it isn’t afraid of tackling some big questions like loyalty, courage, the clash between tradition and innovation… The pacing feels slightly uneven, with certain scenes lingering longer than necessary, but overall it’s very enjoyable. It’s a rich and thought-provoking tale, I can fully recommend it.
