Description:
Secrets fill the air at Venefica University. Can Sam keep hers?
After 19 years of living with her parents, where things like her identity and her interests were to be “understood, but not talked about”, Sam cannot wait to start her first year of college.
Her excitement grows ten-fold when she learns that she and many of her classmates are witches, summoned to this school to be taught alongside the humans with their own curriculum. Magic and mystery, it all seems so perfect, until Sam is displaced within this environment and no longer knows exactly what she is. Human or witch?
But she won’t let that stop her. Determined to learn more about herself and the new world she’s stepped into, Sam enlists the help of her friend, Seraphina, and an unlikely ally. Rules are broken, secrets are spilled, and Sam begins to discover the corruption and danger harbored by this magical world.
