Caught between rivalries, ancient shadows, and the chaos of magical tournaments—that’s my life now.

Winning the Arcane Innovation Fair was supposed to be my big break. Instead, it landed me in the middle of Bothwen Magical Academy’s messiest semester so far. It's only been weeks! Being the first human male Fetch in an all-female house is complicated enough without adding forbidden covens, dark creatures stalking the grounds, and a legendary tournament to the mix.

My goals? Survive the Dragon Fireball Tournament, keep my feelings for my witches in check, and figure out why the VVitch—yes, with two V’s—is obsessed with tearing this place apart.

But the Eclipse Covenant is coming, and with it, a tide of ancient magic that’s making the school’s defenses crumble. Secrets from my past are bubbling to the surface, and the alliances I’ve built are as fragile as the glass orbs we use in spellcasting. Oh, and Riley’s thing for fabric? Still very much a thing. Don’t even get me started on Mari—she's head over heels for me.

Halloween looms, and the VVitch’s final move is about to begin. If I can’t outplay her, outwit my rivals, and outlast the curse, there might not be anything left to save. Magic is unpredictable, but this? This is madness.
