About the Author
Hello! I am a gamedev project manager, a qualified translator/linguist and just a mahou shoujo. I live in Minsk, Belarus, but my soul is somewhere between England and Japan. I travel a lot and learn new languages to explore how they influence our mindset.
I love urban fantasy because our real life seems too boring. Once I asked myself "What if mages actually existed in our modern world?" and the setting of New Tokyo was born.
I am happy to share this world with you!
