Magic isn't real. Everybody knows that.
Thing is, what everybody knows is wrong.
Magic isn't special, any idiot can do it. And that's why it needs to be kept secret. If for no other reason than to keep the world from destroying itself.
Again.
Set in the modern day, and the real world, Catalyst delves into a hidden universe of thaumaturgic intrigue and tells the story of a magic fuelled cold war that has been raging for over 2000 years.
There is no good in this world, and no evil. Only different opinions.
