Magic caused the war. Magic is forbidden. Magic will save us. The Relic Guild is the award nominated first book in The Relic Guild trilogy. It was said the Labyrinth had once been the great meeting place, a sprawling city at the heart of an endless maze where a million humans hosted the Houses of the Aelfir. But when the Thaumaturgists, overlords of human and Aelfir alike, went to war, everything was ruined and the Labyrinth became an abandoned prison. The surviving humans were trapped behind boundary walls a hundred feet high, and all magic was forbidden. And now the war is returning. The Relic Guild are all that stand against the end of the city. But they are old, scattered and weak, and the enemy is growing in strength... Here in THE RELIC GUILD (and other stories) please enjoy a large chunk of The Relic Guild Trilogy (published with kind permission of my publisher Gollancz), complete short stories, the odd poem, one or two blog posts, and samples chapters from my other novels.

Discover the history, hidden traditions, and everyday magic of one of the Wizarding World's best‑kept secrets: Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this companion work, I explore how Ilvermorny came to be, what life is really like on its mist‑covered mountain, and how each house - Horned Serpent, Pukwudgie, Thunderbird, and Wampus - shapes the students who call it home. From sorting ceremonies and classes to late‑night common room conversations and rivalries in the corridors, this book offers a closer look at the culture, customs, and character of North America's greatest magical school. New to this edition are some of Ilvermorny's most enduring ghost stories and legends, written by me. These tales of restless spirits, ancient curses, and haunted hallways are woven into the school's history, adding fresh layers of lore for readers who want to see beyond what's written in official records. This book is designed as an informational companion to my other works, Secrets Of The Gordian Knot and Emaline Goode: The Raven of Ilvermorny. Together, they expand the mythology of Ilvermorny, shining a light on the students, staff, secrets, and stories that rarely make it into textbooks. If you're curious about Ilvermorny, its houses, its legends, or the wider Voyageurs Era of the Wizarding World, this is the place to start. And if you have any questions, theories, or ideas about the school or its lore, feel free to ask - I love talking about Ilvermorny. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Ilvermorny. Both belong to J.K. Rowling. The canon world and concepts are hers; I am simply expanding on them with my own original stories and interpretations. My beliefs do not reflect hers.

"Yes, I am!!!" Kaede leans down to her ear his hot breath tickling her cheek in a tantalizing way, as swooping butterflies made way to her stomach. "I see.

The fluttering butterflies froze in her stomach and spiraled into icy icicles, as fury wraped tightly around her mind. "Indeed, I am a girl. But I'm also an idiotic girl who will follow you anyway. Even if her insufferable bodyguard says no." Emoriah, whispers threateningly. Kaede's dark penetrating gaze burns Emoriah to her core, as he peers down on her frame with a hardened expression upon his face. "You're playing a losing game Emoriah. But very well come.

As time passed, a question passed through my mind, one the professor had asked and I shook my head to chase it away. But the longer it looked at me, two sharp and intelligent eyes of a creature in a black cloud, it began to back up, and the more it did, the more focused its entity was. Black flakes, neatly arranged, from small to big, branched out from between its' eyes to hardened rocks crossing above the eyes like eyebrows. But before it could move further away, I denied it, "No!" I exclaimed, thrusting a hand into the disc, shattering the liquid that drenched my head in a cool liquid, the bubble too then collapsed into droplets and pounded upon me like a waterfall. I was drenched, shivering initially, with a heavy weight added to my uniform. WARNING: Book is Complete but UNDERGOING Edits that can significantly add to the book, please understand it is with the best of intentions. <3
