Code and Crown (Paperback)

Paperback. Adrion was a Systems Architect in Seattle until a runtime error ended his life. He rebooted as Nia, a frail noble girl in a world of magic and monsters. But to Nia, magic isn't mystical-it's just uncompiled code. And she has Admin privileges. Trapped in a failing barony on the edge of the civilized world, Nia faces a stark reality: her father's estate is bankrupt, the peasants are starving, and predatory neighbors are circling like wolves. The hardware-her new body-is weak, but the software is dangerously advanced. armed with the sum of Earth's knowledge and a developer's mind, Nia begins to debug the universe. From rewriting the laws of agriculture to hacking the mana-stream to create electric light, she is determined to optimize her new home. But the system is fighting back. When a rival Baron launches a hostile takeover and her father falls, Nia must shed the persona of the innocent child. She must become the Iron Baroness. She doesn't have an army, and she doesn't have strength. She has an exploit. And she is about to execute the most dangerous script the world has ever seen. Code and Crown: The Awakening is the first volume in a 12-part Progression Fantasy epic. Perfect for fans of "Ascendance of a Bookworm," "Release that Witch," and hard-magic systems where knowledge is the ultimate weapon. This item is printed on demand.
