Ash and Ice

A new instructor of everyday magic isn’t expected to achieve anything extraordinary—students don’t skip the subject, and that’s fine. But when first-year students start disappearing, the suspicion falls on her. It seems that the magic user isn’t who she claims to be. The healer of souls, the only elf in the entire academy, must figure out who’s who—and who is guilty of what. Caution! The heroine is hysterical and sociopathic, swears like a trooper, drinks, and behaves wantonly. The hero is a pedant and a bore. Everyone’s got cockroaches in their heads!
