Wield ancient technology to overthrow your mage oppressors! Can your secret order of mage hunters save the kingdom, or will internal strife tear you apart?

Magehunter: Phoenix Flame is an interactive fantasy novel by Nic Vasudeva-Barkdull, set in the same world as Battlemage: Magic By Mail. It's entirely text-based, 300,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Generations ago, invaders brought magic to the Kingdom of Jubai, setting battlemages at the top of the noble power structure and leaving everyone else oppressed. Now, a secret organization of mage hunters has risen up, phoenix-like, to stand against the mages’ power and overthrow their rule.

As one of these mage hunters, you wield the power of slipflame, a potent energy source that powers hunter technology. When you are called to go into battle against the mages, will you blast explosive bolts from your bow, throw silence bombs to cover your stealthy approach, or control your enemies from afar with puppet darts?

But the mages are not the only foes that you will face. The mage hunters have split into factions, and internal discord threatens their mission. Is there still hope for peaceful elections—and if so, which candidate will you support? And what secrets lie buried in the history of your realm? When the time comes for your uprising against the mages, will you stay loyal to your order—or will the mages’ power lure you to their cause?

• Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, or pan; poly or monogamous.
  
• Master the three types of slipflame, fight with sword and bow, or attempt to achieve your goals through peaceful means.
  
• Join one of the mage hunters’ four factions, and steer the future of the order!
  
• Investigate a mysterious famine and fight for the welfare of the common people!
  
• Uncover deep secrets about your order, the power you wield, the history of the realm—and even your closest companions!

Rise from the ashes, and be reborn a mage hunter!
