Publisher's Synopsis
On her last visit home to Archer's Bow, Lilly Noble found a kohl-lined alabaster Eye of Horus. When the eye's pale green iris seemed to be studying her, by watching her every move, an uneasy sense of danger settled over Lilly. Growing increasingly frightened by the creepy eye, before returning to Bonaventure's Academy of Magic for the new trimester, Lilly destroyed the artifact. Or did she? Friendships are tested. Loyalties questioned. The lives of those Lilly loves are forever altered. Lilly must learn to trust her friends. Her destiny and her life depends on them all.Interview with the AuthorQ: What makes your Actual Magic series special?A: Before I began writing this series, my goal was to write stories that not only enchanted children and teens, but also gave readers courage, confidence, and self-esteem in understanding the emotions of others. Coming of age, school issues like bullying, social issues, and family problems are confusing to kids. By writing from different points-of-view, the reader gets to see what thoughts drive another character's actions.Growing up, I enjoyed reading Fairytales, Folktales, and Myths, Mysteries and Thrillers, Science Fiction, Science Fiction Fantasy, and all kinds of Paranormal Fiction. My favorite books contained a broad range of characters. From ghosts and vampires, to shape shifters, witches and wizards, dragons, fairies, elves, trolls, demons, and mermaids. These stories were set in strange and magical worlds. A boarding school, a haunted house, a cemetery, inside an enchanted wardrobe, on the other side of an enchanted mirror, and down a rabbit hole, to name a few. The hero or heroine often owned a reference library full of spell books, possessed psychic powers, and wielded magic with the flick of a wrist.The Actual Magic series is a wonderful mix of all of those genres, characters, special worlds and magic power. The reader will quickly discover this series focuses on the Science Fiction & Science Fiction Fantasy / Paranormal / Mystery & Thriller / Fairytale, Folktales, & Myth / Action Adventure / Spirituality Genres, and is laced with teen romance, and layered with magic.Overall, in the Actual Magic series there is never a dull moment. Fast-paced, these books will keep the reader up all night, turning the pages. Only the very best stories cast that kind of spell, right?Q: In what order should.
