The Wizard's Apprentice

by David Brennan

When a simple hedge wizard discovers his daughter Bella is in possession of extraordinarily powerful magical abilities, he faces a dilemma. Bella is as willful as she is beautiful, and her quick temper and tendency to use magic against those who have wronged her could put both of them at risk.


The widower is loathe to part with his daughter, but he reluctantly does what he knows is the best thing by placing her in the care of Master Jay, an accomplished wizard with important connections in both the magical and mundane communities.


Master Jay agrees to take Bella in as an apprentice, but under the condition that she be subject to his discipline, for Master Jay realizes that in order for Bella to focus her powers, she must first be made obedient. And for this accomplished wizard, the best magic he can work on his obstinate new student is a firm spanking hand.


As their relationship - and Bella's magical abilities - progress, the young woman learns more about herself, and in the process comes closer to solving the family mystery of who she really is.
