Ancient curses. Blocked memories. And an Academy for young witches that might just hold the answers.

I should have known something was wrong when my weird aunt arrived in town just as I started getting killer headaches.

But how was I supposed to know that it was a sign of repressed magic?

Or that an ancient witch had escaped her tomb and sent demons after me?

Demons who cursed my mother.

I wanted to stay with her, even if she wouldn't wake, but I was sent to Ember Academy for Young Witches instead. Somewhere the demons hopefully can't get me.

I need to find a way to lift the curse, but there's a block on both my magic and memories that everyone is refusing to lift.

A block that might hold the answers as to why an ancient witch is after me in the first place.

If I can figure her out, maybe I can figure out this curse.

My teachers don't want me digging into it, worried about the danger.

But I don't care.

My mother was cursed because of me, and I'm not going to rest until she's safe again.

01Basics of Spellcraft

FS1-Mod8

Freya has been alone as long as she can remember.

Always moving from foster home to foster home, never finding a permanent family.

With her mother dead and no leads on her father, the first clue to her heritage comes in the most unlikely form.

An outburst of impossible magic, and the appearance of a ghostly guardian Freya's mother tasked with watching over her.

With her newfound abilities, finding her father should finally be within Freya's reach, but her new guardian cautions restraint.

Freya still doesn't understand the magical world, she claims, or its dangers.

If Freya wants the truth, it may mean going it alone once more.

And putting her guardian's warnings to the test.

Caroline doesn't remember her crime.

One moment, she's a Lady of the Demon Court.

The next, she's sent to Earth as punishment.

Her task? Keep the humans from learning about magic at all costs. Even if it means doing the one thing she's worst at – dealing with other people.

Detective Mina Sharma is determined to prove herself.

Her new promotion is the one thing going right in her life as a newly-divorced single mother, and she's not going to let anything stop her from solving her first case.

Not even the aloof and enigmatic blonde with crimson eyes telling her to drop it if she values her life.

Especially not when this Caroline is just as much of a puzzle to solve as the case itself.

And Mina has always loved puzzles.

Book One

LH-3SOFTERRRR

Claire was used to having no-one.

But when monsters from beyond the wastelands attack her on a school trip, she's saved by one of the Aspects – an elite team of heroes tasked with keeping the city safe with their emotion-based powers.

Claire's connection to the Aspect of Hate is beyond anything she's ever felt before, but Hate isn't supposed to get close to anyone, lest her powers falter.

That might not have been enough to keep the two girls apart, but when the Aspect of Love dies and Claire is chosen as her successor, the situation only gets deadlier.

If opposite Aspects get too close, their powers cancel each other out.

And the Aspects wind up as monster chow.

But without a source of love to draw on, Claire's powers won't work at all.

And she's as good as dead.

They'll have to decide if they risk their fates together, or if Claire's in this alone.

L.C. Mawson is a cryptid who reportedly loves writing fast-paced genre fiction where girls kiss other girls, but is so rarely seen outside of her native habitat – her room – that it's hard to verify.

Other rumours about L.C. Mawson include:

She loves sweets
Her vegan cookie recipe is the best vegan cookie recipe
She dislikes loud noises and crowds
Her most played games on Steam are Stardew Valley, Civ V, and Factorio

Without more evidence of her existence, we may never know the truth of these rumours, but she has proven exceptionally camera-shy, leaving only one picture of her available…
