The first student has stepped inside the halls of the Academy, and their identity shocks everyone… When the Academy doors swing open again after decades of silence, midlife witch Maeve Bellemore should feel relief. The Wards are strengthening, new students are bustling through the enchanted halls, and her beloved town of Stonewick is thriving under this gentle resurgence of magic.

Old rivalries simmer, and long-held grudges between the fae, shifters, and humans threaten the fragile peace.

Something that could unravel Stonewick’s hard-won harmony forever. Maeve has to ask herself, what if saving Stonewick means risking everything she holds dear?
