The Vital Current Of Montreal

By Guy Roberts

Breathe in four, out six-save a city between.

After a near-fatal crash, synesthetic med student Liora Vale begins seeing Montr al's hidden vital current-glowing lines of life-energy that thread hospitals, trams, and bell towers. A celebrated clinic promises "resilience," but its visionary director is quietly archiving people's memories to power an etheric machine beneath an abandoned observatory.

With hacker-engineer Tova Haldorsd ttir, uncompromising Dr. Mireille Kwan, and bell-keeper Sister Evadne, Liora learns a precise, visual magic system-pocket anchors, breath counts, and bells-to re-harmonize the four bodies (dense, vital, desire, reflecting) without stealing anyone's choice.

When the clinic's glossy miracle becomes a citywide gray hush, the only defense is a grassroots blueprint: Vital Commons. Recipes, not prophecies. Consent over capture. No solos.

Perfect for readers who love:

Urban fantasy with hard rules and a fresh magic aestheticBiotech conspiracies vs. community care

Dark-academia atmosphere without the nihilism

Bells beat biotech. The city keeps its tail up.
