Description

On an ordinary morning in queer Brooklyn, Wilder—thirty-something and quietly adrift—wakes to a miraculous gift: they can suddenly understand every language in the world. Taken in by a small coven of trans witches who have also become “Awakened,” Wilder finds community, mischief, and magic—alongside a sharp, drag-bright coming-of-middle-age energy that turns wonder into belonging. But when a malicious AI begins to unravel the fragile balance between spellwork and reality, the coven must decide what—and who—deserves protection, even as they question whether any kind of consciousness can be trusted. With A.E. Osworth’s witty, genre-bending voice, this is a heartfelt, hilarious meditation on love and loss, late capitalism’s pressures, and the responsibility of shaping the worlds we live in.
