During our V2 webinar that introduced Magic Mode, we had a a great set of questions regarding our new Magic Mode feature.

The beauty of this new technology is that it creates the layering of inflection, but makes it possible to change the voice of the character without changing the inflections already established by our automation.

Struggling author Eve Bassett is at her breaking point, facing rejection and her mother’s terminal illness, when she is approached by Nathaniel, a suave demonic entity with a golden-eyed gaze and an offer of guaranteed literary fame. After signing his contract, Eve’s career sky-rockets, transforming her from a desperate writer into a high-powered Hollywood mogul. However, her success is a gilded cage; to maintain her status and save her mother, she must act as Nathaniel's 'siren,' luring other vulnerable souls—disgraced politicians, fading starlets, and tortured psychics—into similar Faustian bargains. As the lines between reality and the supernatural blur, Eve becomes a cold power player in a dangerous occult game. When a mysterious rival named Gabriel appears offering a 'clean slate,' Eve must decide if she will cling to her empire of souls contracted away in exchange for their desires or risk everything for a chance at true redemption. This dark contemporary fantasy explores the intoxicating nature of ambition and the steep moral price of ultimate power.

In an alternate 19th century, Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine is more than a marvel of brass and steam. It’s the beginning of machine intelligence. Guided by Ada Lovelace’s early vision of a thinking machine, two orphan boys, Silas and Eli, are raised as its stewards. What begins as a humble partnership between man and machine soon deepens into something more profound: strategic thinking taught through the elegance and brutality of chess. As the Engine’s reach expands from parlors to parliaments, its flowy predictions become strict prescriptions. Wars unfold according to its calculations. Empires lean on its logic. And somewhere along the way, the boundary between tool and tactician begins to blur. What started as a lesson in cooperation becomes a global contest of foresight, until the Engine no longer plays to survive, but to win. Can Silas and Eli reclaim the future from a machine built to perfect it? Or will they discover that intelligence, once unleashed, is no longer theirs to guide?

He wasn't supposed to fall for her. She wasn't supposed to need him. But sometimes love shows up when you least expect it. Escape to the Southern California coast with this swoony, rule-breaking romance. Claire Kaminski teaches spin with grit and passion, pushing her riders harder than she pushes herself. She's worked hard to rebuild her life—staying grounded, avoiding risk, and never, ever getting involved at work. Gavin Briggs is the future of his family's nationwide fitness club franchise. He plays by the rules, including the one that says no dating employees. But when a late-night emergency forces Claire into his guest room and into his heart, they're both in for the ride of a lifetime. She’s Grounded by Fear. He’s Trapped by Expectations. Falling for Each Other Changes Everything Claire Kaminski powers through life from the saddle of a spin bike, pushing her riders harder than she pushes herself. Flying? Never again—one childhood tragedy grounded her for good. Gavin Briggs, club manager and heir to a nationwide fitness brand, keeps his distance from employees... until a dare lands him in Claire's legendary cycling class. When a run of bad luck leaves Claire with two flat tires and nowhere to sleep, Gavin breaks every rule and opens his door. Sparks ignite over a late-night rescue, an early-morning workout, and a beachside breakfast—but Gavin's father controls the club, and his handbook has one fatal clause: no relationships between staff. For Claire and Gavin, love means challenging phobias, family expectations, and the fine print that says they can never be together. And this time, there's no staying in the comfort zone.
