Canestro is the shining star of Teraoune. It is the home of the famed Teraoune University, and more importantly, The Teraoune Weaver's Academy, where young mages called Weavers learn to hone their craft. 

However, the Academy has been acting suspiciously, and the eyes and ears of Teraoune, the Inquisition, have had their attention grabbed. Money that disappears, staff is hired, but they never leave, more and more exotic materials are being imported, apparently to no end. 

An unlikely ally from across the Strait of Plenty has offered to aid them in their investigation, unprompted, causing further concern in the upper echelons of the Inquisition, and accelerating their efforts. Little does she know the threads she will begin to tease apart will come from a tapestry much larger than she anticipated.All Rights Reserved

Affinity Witch by KatieKeridan

A light obscured often goes dark. Sabrina Verrun is a witch and the most gifted metallurgist her Hexen coven has seen in a century. Unfortunately, she has no interest in being a traditional metal-worker, repairing broken items and making trinkets to sell in the Hexen shop...she wants to create new things, things no one has ever seen before. While she dreams of devoting her life to her metal-working, her mother has other plans...she wants Sabrina to follow in her footsteps and take over as coven leader, putting aside metal in favor of assuming responsibility for the well-being of the other witches. Sabrina has no desire to do such a thing, and as she fights for control of her own life, she's determined to create something that proves her research is worthwhile, earning her the freedom she so desperately craves. But as those she lives with manipulate her, ignore her, and treat her as if she doesn't know her own mind, she eventually turns her attention to the one place she's forbidden from entering-the Schwarzwald, a magical, yet deadly, forest ruled by the elusive and powerful Forest King. Eventually, Sabrina finds herself willing to go to any lengths to control her own destiny, and the choices she makes along the way affect not only herself, but her coven, other magic users, and one important life yet to come. A light obscured often goes dark, and a passion can too easily become an obsession in this cautionary coming-of-age prequel to Witch, Wolf, Woods.
