Perfect for you if...

You love stories where someone exploits a system's hidden rules and watches the chaos unfold.
You enjoy adventure that blends tech logic with fantasy sword-and-sorcery tropes.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your medieval fantasy grounded in historical realism.
You need a love story to care about the protagonist.
You find the idea of 'reality as computer code' tedious rather than clever.

About this book

Martin Banks discovers he can manipulate reality by exploiting the fact that reality operates as a computer program. However, his repeated use of this ability attracts unwanted attention. To avoid prosecution, he travels back in time to the Middle Ages and assumes the identity of a wizard. Now operating as an American hacker in King Arthur's court, Martin must develop his powers into genuine mastery, uncover the history of the legendary wizard Merlin, and survive the dangers of the medieval world.
