Teenager Faris Nallaneen is the heir to the small northern dukedom of Galazon. Too young still to claim her title, her despotic Uncle Brinker has ruled in her place. Now he demands she be sent to Greenlaw College. For her benefit he insists. To keep me out of the way, more like it! But Greenlaw is not just any school-as Faris and her new best friend Jane discover. At Greenlaw students major in . . . magic. But it's not all fun and games. When Faris makes an enemy of classmate Menary of Aravill, life could get downright . . . deadly.

Glasscastle University—on the surface, one of the most peaceful places in England. But underneath, its magic is ancient and dangerous… American Samuel Lambert, sharpshooter, adventurer, late of the Wyoming plains and Kiowa Bob's Wild West Show, has been invited to Glasscastle University in England to contribute his phenomenally accurate shooting eye to the top secret Agincourt Project. The only dangers he expects to face are British snobbery, heavy dinners, and tea with the Provost's pretty wife. But when the Provost's stylish sister, Jane Brailsford, comes to town, things get much more exciting…. This sparkling sequel to A College of Magics is a whirlwind of secret weapons, motor cars, mysterious assaults and abductions, thugs in bowler hats, and a mild-mannered don who is heir to a magical power greater than all of Glasscastle's.

Combined edition of A College of Magics and A Scholar of Magics Faris Nallaneen, 18-year-old Duchess of Galazon, is sent off to Greenlaw College by her uncle Brinker, who has his eye on her properties. She befriends Jane Brailsford, an accomplished English student, and undertakes the study of magic. That magic will save her life, her friends, and ultimately, the world when she and Jane become entangled with Samuel Lambert, an American sharpshooter from Wyoming who is called in by Glasscastle College (the male counterpart of Greenlaw) for their secret Agincourt project.
