Grimoires of the Umber Court

Book 1 of the Tales of Magick

Princess Gwendolyn wins the favours of the magisterial council and earns her position at the near-top of their ranks as a level 1 Mage; a title she has fought and clawed for years to claim as her own. At 27 she is the youngest ever to claim a seat on the council -- without any help or influence from her higher position as the Princess of the Umber Courts. Her first task as a Minister of the Council is simple: Attend a Magic high school to fish out the source of demonic corruption turning students into slaves for the army of the Dark Magus. She attends school as Gwen, a rich socialite-type ready to reclaim the reins of popularity once again; but the world has changed drastically since she was in high school, and she must navigate this new territory carefully -- trying her best to avoid anyone blowing her cover, and finding out her identity as the crowned princess.
