Our Dark Incantations

The story follows ex-healer Mira Winters, who has sworn to never use magic again. Of course, if you know A Discovery of Witches and Practical Magic, then you know that these vows never work out. People are pulled back into the worlds they're trying to escape, and that's what happens when she's accepted into Ivercrest University. Why would she turn her back on magic? She was left orphaned after the war between Wielders and Casters, and she's been left with a scar that pulses dark magic. All she wants is to get rid of that scar, but she ends up being placed in the wrong magic department, where she meets Wielder Aidric Dawson — the worst partner she could ever have. Dawson is lethal and arrogant. With rumors of him being a high-ranking soldier during the war, everyone either wants to get on his good side or avoid him completely. Mira has to not only practice wielding dark magic, but needs to handle Dawson at the same time. Oh, and there's a secret murder investigation to delve into.
