Book Summary
Genesis Ortiz is the last witch on Earth, though she doesn't know it-yet. Enrolled at the prestigious AZ Academy in London, a school meant to shape the next generation of Nephilim, Genesis has always felt like an outsider. While the Elites, students with incredible powers, reign supreme, Genesis struggles to fit in, her sarcastic wit and fearless attitude often masking the questions she has about her own identity.
When she discovers her late mother's diary over winter break, a chain of extraordinary events begins to unfold. The diary doesn't just hold memories-it holds secrets. Genesis was always told her mother, Amethyst, died during childbirth, but the diary suggests otherwise. With Gambit, her enigmatic and hilariously snarky familiar, at her side, Genesis dives into a world of forbidden magic, buried history, and dangerous truths about the witches who were erased from existence.
As she uncovers the mystery of her mother's life-and death-Genesis learns Amethyst wasn't from London at all. She had fled America while pregnant, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and powerful enemies. The closer Genesis gets to the truth, the more she realizes that her mother's past is tied to her own destiny, one that could shake the fragile balance between angels, demons, and Nephilim.
But life at AZ Academy doesn't stop for secrets. Between dealing with cliquey, power-wielding Elites, a love triangle she never saw coming, and discovering her own untapped magical abilities, Genesis must navigate a world where trust is a luxury she can't afford.
This is a story of resilience, forbidden love, and self-discovery, set in a universe where power comes with a price, and the truth can be as dangerous as the lies. Genesis must decide who she is meant to be: a quiet survivor of a forgotten lineage or the witch who refuses to be erased.
I will be posting this story on Royal Road within the next week or so after I have passed the approval process. My name on there will also be CatLegis.
Kara thought that going to a boarding school for witches would be hard. But when she's framed for murder, she must clear her name before the murderer can strike again.
*****
Kara has just turned sixteen and is to attend Greenwood Academy, a witches' boarding school located in the Salem Woods in Massachusetts. But the Zen family is notorious for weak familiars and, as she prepares to summon her familiar for the first time, along with bracing for the bullying that will surely follow, something miraculous happens.
The power she summons was thought to be a myth and legend: and it's extremely powerful.
Accepted by the popular students within the academy, Kara begins to think that her stay at Greenwood will be an easy one. But when a fellow student is viciously murdered, Kara is the sole suspect of the crime, and she must figure out how to clear her name before tragedy can strike again.
But what exactly is the truth when she's going to a three hundred year old boarding school that has secrets?
