Witching World

In nineteenth century Norland, magic is forbidden, punishable by death. But it's coming for Clara. Clara was born to the nobility at a time when rank and power are often more valuable than the bonds of family. Her parents have plans for her, none that she wants, all involving her arranged marriage. From her birth, her entire life has been planned out-only what a future wife in society needs to know. Every step of her path is meant to end with her walking down an aisle and then popping out heirs.

A prodigy pygmy owl. A possessive firedrake. A booby-trapped castle. Gargoyles come to life. Who said magic would be ordinary? No one can access magic like Clara, but her powers are unpredictable and dangerous. She has to learn how to control them.

Clara barely survived the dark force that attacked Irele Castle. One of her teachers didn't. But the number of dark magicians hunting her and her friends has only increased. She still doesn't understand the extent of her powers, and her foes are cutting off every opportunity for her to discover it. As if the immortal count weren't terrifying enough, now Clara's former fiance and a magician she believed dead have combined their efforts to kill her. And it gets worse. The Merqueen's already stolen three years of Clara's life. But she wants more, and she's as powerful as the count.
