[Ashcroft Academy 01] • Wilde Magic

The Craft meets Gossip Girl

Ainsley

My life changed in an instant. Five months ago, my dad stepped off the roof of our apartment building right in front of me. He was an investigative reporter, always looking for the next big story, and the last one brought him to a fancy boarding school and had him acting more secretive than ever. I’m doing everything I can to piece together his last few months, searching for clues as to what made him do it. Maybe then my mom will stop secretly blaming me for not stopping him in time.

I have quite the task ahead of me, and that’s if I can somehow survive Sydney Lockwood, Ashcroft’s horrid Queen B, who seems hell-bent on destroying me.

Sydney

I’m the most popular girl at Ashcroft Academy and in my coven. I get excellent grades, speak three languages, and I’m learning Black Magic in addition to my family’s proficiency. You’d think that would be enough. But nothing is ever enough when it comes to my mother, the coven’s High Priestess. She’s threatened to send me away if I keep bombing the magical testing. But there’s no way I’m leaving my boyfriend, my friends, and the elite status I’ve attained. I just have to convince my mother that I deserve to be here.

And I think I know just how to do that.

Ainsley, our new sophomore, seemed suspicious the moment I saw her. So naturally, as an intuitive empath witch, I tried to read her, but I couldn’t access her emotions, which has never happened to me. As it turns out, our new girl is immune to all magic—something unheard of in the magical community. If I can figure out how and why, I can protect my coven, prove myself to my mother, and redeem myself after bombing my last magical testing.

But as much as I hate Ainsley, I need her help. We share a dangerous secret, one that has the power to destroy not only witches, but the whole town.

The Ashcroft Academy series is an extended series (books 2 3 also out soon) with mild cliffhangers at the ends of some books. It is a high school academy, non RH series with romance, mean girls, complicated relationships, tension, magic and mayhem!
