β¦ Synopsis
Magic has been ripped from the human world or has it?
The connection with the Fey realm was destroyed over five hundred years ago and with it went mystery and beauty. To fill that hole the mortal world developed cybernetic wonders and digital worlds. Magic is now just a fading memory.
The English village of Penheram is an oasis of the past in a sea of modernity, a place where people go to escape. Ella failing in her writing career, is doing just that, and quite well too, until a shapeshifting thief with a hint of magic around him stumbles into her life.
In far off New Zealand a child full of power grows into a world-changing woman. Her gift though draws out ancient and terrible foes.
The two womens stories draw closer and closer to a collision. No secret can be kept forever, and magic sometimes finds its own way back.

Review
"The descriptions in Digital Magic transport the reader in time and space; Ballantine does an excellent job, her strengths seem to be in knowing what to spend time describing, and what not to. Many writers have the former down pat, but struggle mightily with the latter. The characters are well written and believable, as they were in Chasing the Bard."
-Warren Kelly, Blog Critics
From the Inside Flap
The Fey are gone... and with them, magic. At least, that is how things seem at the conclusion of the award-nominated novel Chasing the Bard. ~ Lord what fools these mortals be. ~ Penherem is a quaint, sleepy English village where people go to escape the 21st Century. Hiding from the world of laptop computers, the Internet, and wireless communication, is Ella. A writer, now barren of ideas and drive, she resigns herself to a quiet life of solitude. Everything changes with the arrival of a shapeshifting thief. Suddenly, everyone begins to change--from the local librarian to the lady of the manor--revealing their true natures and dangerous secrets. Something in this sleepy English village is awakening... something that might be better left alone.
