A Matter of Perspective (The Paradigm Matters)

Want a story about a bunch of magical, queer characters who have no idea what they're doing? The scientific Norr and magical Surl have always been at war, decreed millennia ago by the Gods to be fought every four years. To the victors, the spoils: favorable trade and fleeting glory. And for the first time in decades, Surl has emerged victorious. But what should have led to prosperity in the southern continent has instead resulted in a plague—zombies appearing in the northernmost province. Could the cause be Surlian magic? Norrian science? Or something far more sinister? It is up to a ragtag group of veterans sent by the Surlian Parliament to find out, led by the heretical captain who won the War. He’s joined by the man secretly in love with him, a teenaged hacker, a suicidal immortal, and a telekinetic fraud. They’ll try to save Surl from turmoil—even as they each have their own agendas to carry out and secrets to hide.
