It’s just another day at your average American high school for the magically gifted.  Dark magic is bent on destroying the school. A Drow princess is gaining powers faster than she knows what to do with them. Her best friend, a Jasper Elf can’t remember who she is, and her boyfriend turns into a wolf at night and runs with his pack. By day, they’re trying out for the school play, worrying about who’s going to the fall dance, and oh yeah, are excited about Halloween when the dead can finally talk to the living again. Just your typical teenager in America when magic returns. Alison, the Drow and her best friend, Izzie, the Jasper Elf are determined to get everything they can out of high school… even if they have to stay one step ahead of the Dark families to make it to graduation.

Alison is a Drow with growing powers with a teenager with dark forces after her. It’s a lot when you’re just a sophomore trying to navigate being 15.  Doesn’t help when you’re attracted to a young wizard who tried to take out a classmate, and your new dad is a bounty hunter named Brownstone. Most teenagers have to deal with grades, school dances, and curfews. At the School of Necessary Magic, Alison and her crew have school elections, a musical to put on, a tournament in Louper to win while learning how to use their growing magical powers - and a sudden outbreak of werewolves. All before third period and a class on potions. Alison, her best friend, Izzie, Kathleen, Luke, and all the others have got this. They better.... After all, they’re being trained to save us all. 

Alison, the Drow princess can’t even make it back to the School of Necessary Magic for her junior year without tripping across trouble hunting for her.  Underground bullet trains, battles with dark magic, growing dragons, Louper tournaments, school dances and job fairs. Growing up a magical can be tough on a social life.  Thank goodness she’s got her friends beside her.

Dark magic has infiltrated the school of necessary magic.  Spies stalk the halls. Traitors whisper lies to impressionable freshmen. And devious wizards distract with charming smiles. If Alison and her friends can’t see past the friendly masks of their fellow students to the dark purpose they hide, it’s not just the school that will be destroyed. But the forces of evil should have kept one thing in mind before targeting Alison Brownstone. Hell hath no fury like a drow princess defending her family.

No good deed goes unpunished, not when dark magic is involved. Graduation is right around the corner, which means finals, long good-byes, and difficult decisions about the future. But Alison and friends have to make it to graduation first. Easier said than done, especially when the consequences of saving Christie’s mom come home to roost. Dead animals are discovered. Magic is stolen. And someone, or something, targets the local shifter pack. Only an old thorn in her ass can help her save her friends. Is that a redemption arc in the works, or is Alison being played? They say "keep your friends close but your enemies closer". Alison prefers it the other way around. Make your enemy your friend. After all, a girl can never have too many friends, especially in the final battle. Don’t miss the stunning conclusion to the series the School of Necessary Magic. Listen to it today!

What do a few stolen books have to do with the end of life as we know it? More than you would think. Drow Princess Alison Brownstone begins her senior year ready to finally graduate and start her new life, fully trained and ready to kick ass. But still reeling from the attack last semester and the absence of her best friend, Alison is desperate for some kind of distraction to make the days pass quicker. And trouble in paradise with boyfriend Tanner makes it even more vital. When books start disappearing, she can’t resist digging deeper. After all, no one should be able to penetrate the gnome’s magical protection. But going down the rabbit hole leads to truths far more dangerous than petty theft. Without Izzy by her side, can Alison defeat the greatest challenge she’s ever faced before more lives are lost?
