Mildred doesn't like black magic. But her mother was once valedictorian of Black Magic Academy, so her aunts insist she needs to follow in her footsteps and become one too. Mildred doesn't want to be part of the popular crowd. Nor does she care about her "death-enemy." And she certainly has no interest in murderous spells. But if the teachers catch on that she's actually a good witch . . . well, they don't react well to that kind of ignominy. What's the only good witch in a school of wicked witches to do?

Rulisa doesn’t want to be a good witch. She wants to be a bad witch. But after her second expulsion from a powerful magical school, Rulisa’s father sends her packing off to White Magic Academy. Not only is this school a laughstock in the witch community, her goody-goody-two-shoes death-enemy is thriving there. When you add visits from her con artist father, an assigned friend who won’t leave her alone, and the minor matter of assassins from Black Magic Academy, things are looking annoying. And why, why, why does her death-enemy keep trying to be her friend?
