Powerful magic. A
deadly legacy. A world at the edge of war.
Prepare to be
spellbound by The Black Witch.
Evil looms on the
horizon, and for Elloren Gardner, granddaughter of the last Black
Witch, pressure to live up to her magical heritage is building.
Elloren’s people, the Gardnerians, believe she will follow in her
grandmother’s footsteps. But Elloren is utterly devoid of power—in
a society that prizes magical ability above all else.
Granted the
opportunity to study at the prestigious Verpax University, Elloren
sets out to embrace a destiny of her own, free from the shadow of her
grandmother’s legacy. But the university may be the most
treacherous place of all for the granddaughter of the Black Witch,
and Elloren soon realizes that the world she knows is not what it
seems. If she is to survive the coming danger, she’ll have to free
her mind from the assumptions she was raised with, and learn to trust
the very people she’s been taught to hate and fear.
