The on-demand digital economy and the higher-than-high standard set by companies like Amazon have created a new kind of consumer—a NOW Customer. They are always on (and always online) and expect rapid resolutions and engaged interactions from their brands at all times and across every touchpoint.

Roommates Kobi and Merin have a problem. They live in a carefree, utopian society where oppression and inequality have been eradicated, everyone has a say in the government, and everyone has plenty of food, clothing, and sex. The problem? Kobi and Merin harbor secret taboo desires, fantasizing about slavery and sexual domination. Through their computer networks they seek out others who share their desires. But when their society opens diplomacy with a domineering culture, suppressed desires burst forth.

In this conclusion of the Magic University series, Kyle begins his senior year full of doubt. For his junior thesis, he made a new translation of an ancient prophecy he believed to be about himself and his true love. Now other people are starting to believe it, too, as the signs of the Burning Days seem to be everywhere: people losing their magic, odd storms, and earthquakes. But although Kyle has many loving friends and eager acquaintances, he has no true love in sight.

Kyle Wadsworth thinks he isn't ready to love again, after what happened in his second year of college. Now halfway through his junior year, he's obsessed with studying an ancient prophecy and is still haunted by past events, even in his dreams.

One of his good friends, an enchantment student named Lindy Carmichael, is having uncontrollably erotic dreams and also difficulty using her magic.

Now he finds he has a talent for sex magic and the erotic arts. Not only that, a girl in his sex magic class has a crush on him.
