Magical Mission
The first student has stepped inside the halls of the Academy, and their identity shocks everyone...
When the Academy doors swing open again after decades of silence, midlife witch Maeve Bellemore should feel relief. The Wards are strengthening, new students are bustling through the enchanted halls, and her beloved town of Stonewick is thriving under this gentle resurgence of magic.
Yet, Maeve senses this awakening isn’t all fluttering butterflies and glowing spellbooks.
Quiet forces stir in the shadows, assembling secret armies beneath the surface charm of her cozy village.
Old rivalries simmer, and long-held grudges between the fae, shifters, and humans threaten the fragile peace.
And as students pour into the Academy, Maeve quickly realizes they aren’t just learning spells and potions. They’re preparing for something far bigger that the Academy is teaching them. Something that could unravel Stonewick’s hard-won harmony forever.
Maeve has to ask herself, what if saving Stonewick means risking everything she holds dear?
Return to Stonewick for a cozy midlife fantasy adventure brimming with enchantment, romance, found family, and spells gone delightfully wrong.

enjoying every second
I have enjoyed the whole series thus far. It’s been a very enjoyable series from twobble, Frank the whole crew. Would love for more story with the dragons and I’d love to see how Celeste is gonna fit in because I believe she’s more important than words can say.

As the Academy opens more and students arrive, threats need to be addressed in order to keep all safe. Mae enlists the help of her found family both as instructors and as protectors. Maeve is growing in her magical ability and confidence. I love her friendships and the humor weaved within the stories.

Progressing Slowly
The author covers ground slowly, but surely. It may take pages to describe a scene, but eventually she moves on, usually casting shades of doubt. There is rarely any resolution, but I’m sure it will get there eventually!
