First Spell

2018

An ordinary girl, a dream to become extraordinary, and the powers that will lead her to change the world. Sixteen-year-old Isadora is recruited to join a secret school. She knows nothing of where she’s going, but anything is better than being stuck at the house of her belittling uncle. When a sect of sorcerers out to ruin magic finds her, she doesn’t possess the skills to ward them off. She needs to reach the academy. A whole new world awaits her if only she can make it in time. Will Isadora beat the sorcerers to the academy and begin her education in the magical arts? Or will they succeed in keeping her from her destiny?

Winged Pursuit

The Magical Arts Academy is anything but ordinary. It’s the one place Isadora can learn the forbidden craft.

But is the academy really as safe as Isadora thinks? Or will the Sorcerers find the way to infiltrate its defenses?
Unexpected Agents book cover

Unexpected Agents

2018

The Academy has a new breed of teachers. They transform into the nightmares of legend. But they aren’t Isadora’s greatest concern. The Sorcerers are always one step ahead. And the magicians at the academy are all that prevent them from crushing those without magic. It doesn’t matter that Isadora is new to the world of powers. She’s part of the fight now. She must discover those agents, who threaten them in secret, before it’s too late… or the fight will be over before it’s really begun.
Improbable Ally book cover

Improbable Ally

2018

When your adversaries are masters of illusion, keep your team close, and your enemies as far away as possible. New students have arrived at the Academy, and unlike Isadora and her brother, they were raised with magic. But even their knowledge of the craft might not be enough to save them from the unrelenting Sorcerers, who will stop at nothing to take down anyone who opposes them. Will Isadora and her friends avoid the traps in their midst? Or will Isadora be forced to fight for their lives with magic she never realized she possessed?
Questionable Rescue book cover
#5

Questionable Rescue

2018

Magic waits for no one. And Isadora was behind from the start. The wicked sorceress Miranda has her right where she wants her, and mercy isn’t on the menu. Isadora has no idea how to take down a sorceress. She hasn’t even had the chance to master basic magic. But that won’t stop her from trying. She’s the only one who can prevent Miranda from exposing magic to the masses and pitting the academy in a brutal war against them. Will Isadora find the way to harness her abilities in time? Or will violence engulf the magical world? Questionable Rescue is book 5 of Magical Arts Academy. A new book will publish every 21 days.

Sorcerers' Web book cover
#6

Sorcerers' Web

2018

With magic, things are never what they seem. Firedrakes infiltrate the school, then turn out not to really be drakes at all, but humans suffering from a curse. Just another day at the academy… until breaking the curse doesn’t go so well. The Sorcerers’ dark magic is strong. Isadora might be stronger, if only she can survive long enough to figure out her powers. Will she manage to break the curse? Or will she pay the ultimate price for trying?
Ghostly Return book cover
#7

Ghostly Return

2018

Sometimes magic requires the ultimate sacrifice. To do what’s right, Isadora had to die. But not even death will keep her from fighting—not when her family at the academy is under attack. Isadora knows far too little about magic, and she understands even less about the spirit world. But with the help of some unexpected friends, she intends to find the ghost with the power to turn the tides of this magical war. Will Isadora find the way to survive the spirit world? Or will it claim her forever?
Transformations book cover
#8

Transformations

2018

When magic is involved, the end isn’t always the end. If Isadora has learned one thing at the academy, it’s that nothing is ever simple in the world of magic. Not even death. She has a second chance. All she has to do is figure out how to come back to life. Piece of cake, right? With unexpected friends in the spirit world, she might just manage what no other magician has done before… and she might actually live to tell the tale. If anyone can do it, Isadora can, because when it comes to magic, no one’s thought to tell her what she can—and cannot—do.
Castle's Curse book cover
#9

Castle's Curse

2018

There are some risks worth taking, no matter how bad the odds. When friends are in danger, the magicians of the academy will do whatever is necessary to save them—even if the friends are ghosts. The Sorcerer has underestimated the staff and students of the academy. But they’ve underestimated him too… and he has no qualms about using the darkest of magic against them. He’d rather them dead than alive. But the magicians are about to bring the fight of his life.
Spirited Escape book cover
#10

Spirited Escape

2018

The castle is dark and creepy. It’s almost certainly a trap. But the magicians of the academy will risk everything to save one of their own. When the head of the Magical Council betrays the magicians, the Sorcerers have more advantage than they deserve. Isadora and her friends must ride to the rescue, even though they’ll have to face their worst fears. It’s what the good guys do. Now all they have to do is survive a castle designed to keep everyone who enters… and never let them go.
Dragon's Fury book cover
#11

Dragon's Fury

2018

What if you were trapped in your own mind? Would it make the castle that truly imprisoned you any better? The dark Sorcerer underestimates the magicians’ abilities, but his plan is sound, and they’re caged, just as he intended. The magicians conceal powers and secrets, but they aren’t yet aware of them. Will they find the way to overcome the dark spell that appears unbreakable? Or will the Sorcerer succeed in crushing all hope and making them his prisoners forever?
Magic Ignites book cover
#12

Magic Ignites

2019

We’d escaped the castle, though not all of us made it out alive. That should have been enough loss. But the Dark Sorcerer isn’t finished with us yet. He will hunt us relentlessly until he claims our magic and our lives… or until we find the way to stop him first. It’s time to step into the powers that are mine for the taking. To end this once and for all. I’m finished being less than I can be. Time to shine.
Powers Unleashed book cover
#13

Powers Unleashed

2019

The Dark Sorcerer intends to use me as bait to lure my friends out of hiding. So that he can defeat us all. Yeah, that plan’s not going to work. I’m finished allowing him to wield power he doesn’t respect and he hasn’t earned. Besides, a great magic brews inside me… enough to finally win this fight and prevent his plans to deliver chaos and bloodshed to the world. The Sorcerer is about to rue the day he decided to mess with me. His reign of terror ends now.
