The Witchling Academy
2 total works
Abomination. Curse. Murderer. That is what eighteen-year-old Seraphina Dovetail is considered by her coven. As the seventh-born daughter to a witch, she is the cause of her mother losing her powers and, in turn, her life.
Abandoned at an early age, Sera dreams of becoming an inspector and finding her family. Maybe they didn’t mean to give her up. Maybe, just maybe, they think of her, too. To reach her goal, she must be referred into the Advanced Studies Program at the Aetherium. Her birth order, quick temper, and constant mishaps, however, have left her as an outcast with failing marks. And just the person Professor Nikolai Barrington is looking for.
He makes her a proposition she can’t refuse: become his assistant and he’ll give her the referral she needs. Sera agrees and is quickly thrust into a world where witches are being kidnapped, bodies are being raised from the dead, and someone is burning seventh-borns alive. With Professor Barrington, Sera will discover that not everyone wants to be found, some secrets are best left buried, and fire isn’t the only thing that makes a witch burn.

Seraphina Dovetail, the seventh-born daughter of a witch, is desperate to find her family - a task made difficult both because she has no memory prior to two years ago and because of her recent expulsion from the Aetherium Witchling Academy. All she has left is hope - and her position as assistant to the young alchemy professor and moonlighting detective Nicolai Barrington.
When Barrington begins to sideline her during investigations, Sera has had enough. In spite of their growing attraction - she knows there is no future in a romance with him - she’s determined to master the skills needed to find her family. And if that means taking on her own investigation behind Barrington’s back, so be it.
When a girl plunges to her death, Sera is determined to uncover why the girl haunts her reflection in a mirror. But then an academy student goes missing, and soon after, their souls appear trapped in the mirror. As Sera tries to discover who is confining them, she uncovers a conspiracy to destroy the Witchling world. There’s more here than meets the eye…and looking too deeply could have deadly consequences.
