Magic waits for no one. And Isadora was behind from the start. The wicked sorceress Miranda has her right where she wants her, and mercy isn’t on the menu. Isadora has no idea how to take down a sorceress. She hasn’t even had the chance to master basic magic. But that won’t stop her from trying. She’s the only one who can prevent Miranda from exposing magic to the masses and pitting the academy in a brutal war against them. Will Isadora find the way to harness her abilities in time? Or will violence engulf the magical world?

With magic, things are never what they seem. Firedrakes infiltrate the school, then turn out not to really be drakes at all, but humans suffering from a curse. Just another day at the academy… until breaking the curse doesn’t go so well. The Sorcerers’ dark magic is strong. Isadora might be stronger, if only she can survive long enough to figure out her powers. Will she manage to break the curse? Or will she pay the ultimate price for trying?

Sometimes magic requires the ultimate sacrifice. To do what’s right, Isadora had to die. But not even death will keep her from fighting—not when her family at the academy is under attack. Isadora knows far too little about magic, and she understands even less about the spirit world. But with the help of some unexpected friends, she intends to find the ghost with the power to turn the tides of this magical war. Will Isadora find the way to survive the spirit world? Or will it claim her forever?

When magic is involved, the end isn’t always the end.If Isadora has learned one thing at the academy, it’s that nothing is ever simple in the world of magic. Not even death.She has a second chance. All she has to do is figure out how to come back to life. Piece of cake, right?With unexpected friends in the spirit world, she might just manage what no other magician has done before… and she might actually live to tell the tale.If anyone can do it, Isadora can, because when it comes to magic, no one’s thought to tell her what she can—and cannot—do.

There are some risks worth taking, no matter how bad the odds. When friends are in danger, the magicians of the academy will do whatever is necessary to save them—even if the friends are ghosts. The Sorcerer has underestimated the staff and students of the academy. But they’ve underestimated him too… and he has no qualms about using the darkest of magic against them. He’d rather them dead than alive. But the magicians are about to bring the fight of his life.

The castle is dark and creepy. It’s almost certainly a trap.But the magicians of the academy will risk everything to save one of their own.When the head of the Magical Council betrays the magicians, the Sorcerers have more advantage than they deserve.Isadora and her friends must ride to the rescue, even though they’ll have to face their worst fears. It’s what the good guys do.Now all they have to do is survive a castle designed to keep everyone who enters… and never let them go.

What if you were trapped in your own mind? Would it make the castle that truly imprisoned you any better?The dark Sorcerer underestimates the magicians’ abilities, but his plan is sound, and they’re caged, just as he intended.The magicians conceal powers and secrets, but they aren’t yet aware of them. Will they find the way to overcome the dark spell that appears unbreakable? Or will the Sorcerer succeed in crushing all hope and making them his prisoners forever?

The Dark Sorcerer intends to use me as bait to lure my friends out of hiding. So that he can defeat us all.Yeah, that plan’s not going to work. I’m finished allowing him to wield power he doesn’t respect and he hasn’t earned.Besides, a great magic brews inside me… enough to finally win this fight and prevent his plans to deliver chaos and bloodshed to the world.The Sorcerer is about to rue the day he decided to mess with me. His reign of terror ends now.

We’d escaped the castle, though not all of us made it out alive.That should have been enough loss. But the Dark Sorcerer isn’t finished with us yet. He will hunt us relentlessly until he claims our magic and our lives… or until we find the way to stop him first.It’s time to step into the powers that are mine for the taking. To end this once and for all. I’m finished being less than I can be. Time to shine.Magic Ignites is book 12 of Magical Arts Academy.

A Betrayal of Time is a story about Vivienne and Ray, who loved each other even before they knew what love was. They belonged together. They knew it, and everyone who knew them knew it. But time didn't. Or maybe time just didn't care. It ripped them apart. Vivienne was left alone, without the one thing -- the one person -- she needed. Worse, she was the sole survivor of an unexplained cosmic event that folded time, transporting her 20 years into the future, when she was supposed to be long dead along with everyone else the event claimed. She didn't know anything about time, except that it was her great betrayer. Still, no one else knew how to reunite her with Ray or with 1959. It was up to her to decipher the quandary no one had been able to resolve before: to bring predictability to the time space continuum, the one thing that could not be more unpredictable.
