Story

Avery finds a strange object at her doorstep and suddenly becomes a player in a real life RPG. If she fails to fulfill the contract with ancient Atlantis, she won't only lose her life, but her soul as well.

Avery chooses real life over online games in an attempt to become her fantasy by mastering swords and magic. She realizes all too soon, it's easier said than done. With her childhood friends' life in jeopardy, Avery has no choice but to risk her own skin and learn how to use her new body in trial by fire. She receives some unexpected help from her school's resident playboy, but she doesn't trust him to keep her new abilities or dragon partner a secret.

Shadow Magic takes place in a near-future Earth where technology is king. Much of it is thanks to one corporation, Makino Industries headquartered in the un-named city which is a confluenceof Hong Kong, Tokyo and Vancouver. Little do our cast know, the scope of cause and effect lie far beyond only their own planet. Beyond season one, other worlds are revealed and space battles occur.
