Carmen DeVine is a nuisance. At least, that's what the Dean of Magic at Winnley~Howles University keeps telling her. Accepted into America's most prestigious institution for witches and warlocks, Carmen has only one issue: She doesn't have a lick of magic! As a dormant witch, she spends her first few weeks keeping a low profile and trying not to get laughed out of Intro to Spell Casting class. She's one practical exam away from being expelled until her grandmother finds an old necklace case from her late parents in the attic. Inside is a beautiful amulet-with her name on it. One click of the clasp changes everything. The moment the silver touches her skin, the magic gates burst open. Carmen isn't just magical-she's a lightening rod for trouble. Her newly awakened powers are rare and mysterious and exactly what one vampire has spent centuries looking for. But danger lies inside the gothic halls of Winnley~Howles as well. When a fellow student is tragically found dead under violent circumstances, the university is sent into a spiral of fear and silence. While the professors look the other way, Carmen dives into the mystery soon uncovering a dark truth about the attacks. She must figure out why the attacks are happening before she becomes another tragic headline. (C) All rights reserved.

Shelby King is tired of living in her sister's shadow. Shelby's a scribe, like her mom, and everyone expects her to write spells for her sister, the way her mom always has for her dad. But Shelby's spells fail spectacularly, and by the time she's a sophomore, Christina won't touch them with a ten-foot-pole; their parents aren't much better. Shelby is fed up, and she decides to show the world she doesn't care if she isn't as good as her stuck-up sister, or as talented as their powerful parents. In fact, she decides it's time to break all the rules, magical and otherwise, and she starts sneaking out to meet Jeremiah Smallwood, the second-best caster in school at illegal pop-up spell battles around town. She may not be able to scribe for him, but she doesn't mind letting him think that she could; Shelby's been half in love with Miah as long as she can remember, but he's never paid attention to her until now, and she's not going to risk her chances worrying about a pesky thing like the truth. But when Christina rats her out to their parents, Shelby can't control her anger, and words come pouring out of her that she can't take back even if she wanted to, threatening Christina's future...and Shelby's own chances with Jeremiah. It'll take more magic than Shelby's ever dreamed of to set things right, but no scribe has that much magic...right?
