Hawthorn Academy
5 primary works
This series is the same story as the other Hawthorn Academy series, but split into more volumes.
Book 1
Note: Familiar Strangers was originally published as a part of the megabook, Hawthorn Academy: Year One.
We all start as strangers. Why does that make me so nervous?
I can't imagine life without Mom, Dad, Bubbe or my friends in Salem. And that's what I'll be living at Hawthorn Academy, the campus between worlds. But Hawthorn Academy's the place to be if I want to join the family business as a veterinarian for magic critters.
It's magi only at my new school, so I'm going without my besties. The only person I'll know there is my snarky big brother. At least I've already bonded with a familiar. But my dragonet means I'm destined for above average power levels.
The last thing I want to do is scare people off. You only get one chance at first impressions, after all.
But will I make friends or enemies?
Book 2
The voice in my head is positive I'm not evil. But I'm not so sure.
I considered my family one of the most respected in Salem's extrahuman community. I was only half right. On the first day at Hawthorn Academy, I found myself judged by strangers for my uncle's infamous evil deeds.
To make matters worse, it turns out I'm an extramagus just like him, able to conjure more than one element like other magi. Extrahumans worldwide give thanks this is a rare trait. A power that always leads to corruption, they say. Considering I'm hearing a voice in my head, they might be right.
I could lose the only two friends I've made so far if they find out. Losing my mind might be preferable. At least my dragonet Ember believes in me. Is my fate certain, or can I rise above it and the stigma of what I am?
Book 3
It's always the quiet ones.
Note: Fire of Justice was originally published as a part of the megabook, Hawthorn Academy: Year One.
I've finally found my footing at Hawthorn Academy. Friends, classes, and my dragonet make it fun. I'm even playing a magical sport. Everything's perfect.
Except it's not. The voice in my head persists through it all, and it's nearly impossible to keep my extra powers secret. I'm worried the wrong people will notice. Like someone poisonous.
The quietest guy in class, Alex Onassis, pays way too much attention to me. He's Greek nobility so he can't want a Jewish girl from a stateside tourist town. My roommate thinks it's harmless flirting. My big brother doesn't like it, but won't say why.
I figure it's got something to do with my extra powers. But does he want a harmless date or something more sinister? What do I do if he starts trouble?
