Jonny was the undefeated king of the octagon — until a group of incompetent goons accidentally killed him while trying to rig his next fight.

Cast as the team's "wizard," he wields tech-enhanced equipment designed to fake magic for the viewers back home. But then he discovers that magic is real. Now Alex must survive a world powered by karma, Qi, and consequences. Somewhere between science and sorcery, he begins to wonder: can he become the mage he's only been pretending to be?

This might just be her best chance to permanently defeat the Hero of Light, whose powers distort destiny to ensure his success.
