Warlock Series by Daniel Kensington

On my eighteenth birthday, I got kicked out of my home, mugged in an alley, and killed a guy with my mind . .. then things got weird. I expected aging out of the foster care system to be hard. I wasn't expecting it to include finding out I was a Warlock, destined to be hunted by the most powerful Witch Families so they could bind me to a coven of thirteen witches and spend the rest of my life "harvesting mana"... moreOn my eighteenth birthday, I got kicked out of my home, mugged in an alley, and killed a guy with my mind . .. then things got weird. I expected aging out of the foster care system to be hard. I wasn't expecting it to include finding out I was a Warlock, destined to be hunted by the most powerful Witch Families so they could bind me to a coven of thirteen witches and spend the rest of my life "harvesting mana". Add to that a set of magical resonants that made me an even bigger target to some of those Witch Families, some of which would rather kill me than let a rival get me. How's a warlock supposed to stay alive and free? Simple - just go to Witch College, find thirteen witches willing to be bound to you forever in your own coven, and learn enough magic to fend off the most powerful Witch Families in the world. Warlock contains unconventional relationships and multiple bondings between the main character and witches. less

When I left my old life behind, I thought I’d seen the worst of it. Turns out, I was wrong. Six months after discovering I’m a Warlock, surviving my first semester at a magic college filled with witches, and forming a coven with my roommate, things are getting complicated. Just as I’m starting to make sense of Willowmere and the Witch Families that want me bound to them—or dead—Morgan, the closest thing I had to family in foster care, shows up. Only she’s got magic of her own... moreWhen I left my old life behind, I thought I’d seen the worst of it. Turns out, I was wrong. Six months after discovering I’m a Warlock, surviving my first semester at a magic college filled with witches, and forming a coven with my roommate, things are getting complicated. Just as I’m starting to make sense of Willowmere and the Witch Families that want me bound to them—or dead—Morgan, the closest thing I had to family in foster care, shows up. Only she’s got magic of her own. Now, between trying to figure out how to keep her safe, discovering the dark forces targeting my classmates, and keeping my coven together, life has officially reached a new level of weird. At least I’m not alone. With my witch, Samantha, by my side and Melaina, my ancient, powerful (and frustratingly attractive) mentor, guiding me, I’m building a coven strong enough to keep the Families at bay. But as I delve deeper into the dark force targeting Willowmere, the lines between love, power, and loyalty blur as my coven grows in unexpected ways, adding an internal battle for us to face. Warlock contains unconventional relationship dynamics and multiple bondings between the main character and witches. less

After exposing a genocidal plot, fighting the Patriarchy, and throwing a vampire into a wall, I thought I was done with the weird stuff - silly warlock. Vernal break is over, and I’m back at Willowmere College with more witches in my coven, stronger magic, and a growing reputation as the warlock nobody saw coming. Too bad the Witches Council thinks I’m too dangerous to let roam free... moreAfter exposing a genocidal plot, fighting the Patriarchy, and throwing a vampire into a wall, I thought I was done with the weird stuff - silly warlock. Vernal break is over, and I’m back at Willowmere College with more witches in my coven, stronger magic, and a growing reputation as the warlock nobody saw coming. Too bad the Witches Council thinks I’m too dangerous to let roam free. Now I’m facing questions I don’t know how to answer—about my lineage, my power, and a past I didn’t even know I had. My coven is stronger than ever, but that just paints a bigger target on our backs. Some Families want to bind me. Some still want me dead. And someone's seeking to unleash an ancient power, long sealed in shadow and bringing only war, death, and madness in its wake. This semester, surviving midterms might be the least of my problems. Book 3 continues the magic school series with more danger, deeper bonds, and a coven that won’t back down. less
