As Head of the Botanical Magic Department, he’s busy. Too busy to be dealing with an amateur medicinal mage who doesn’t meet expectations. Or follow protocols. Or do literally anything by the book, and yet…. Iris Watson is sure of one thing and one thing she has no idea what she’s doing.

Although working at Augury was Iris’ worst nightmare, what really keeps her up at night is her new partner. Adeib might be a constrictor serpentine, but his words spit like venom, breaking down the pieces of Iris’ already fractured sense of self. Can Iris find the beauty blooming beneath Adeib’s prickly exterior? Will Adeib be able to nurture the new growth Iris finds at Augury? less

Not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it will further her career and show how dedicated she is to the university and its students. That is, until she finds herself unable to stay away from the curvy kraken who brought the problems to her doorstep. Can Alitha resist Cordelia’s tantalizing tentacles? And will Cordelia’s obsession turn into something more magical? less
