As a witch raised in the human world - unknown to the supernatural community - my powers are dormant. Until I'm cornered, facing a deathblow. Terror kick-starts my magic and saves my life. But my newly found powers soon bring kidnappers to my door. They tear me from Edinburgh and ship me to magic school in Latvia, where my first student welcome comes with a glare.
Shane McKee is devastatingly handsome, but he's asking questions about throwback witches like me. Too many. The deeper I dig, the more questions I have - and the more I have to hide. Secrets fester beneath the academy's perfect front, disguising a dark, powerful organisation.
My familiar says it isn't instinct drawing me in, it's my spirit powers. And those psychic nudges are about to throw me into a whole world of trouble.
Holly Ice loves the unusual, and subjects which bring out a numinous longing for more than reality can provide - for monsters, romance, skirmishes and magic. She holds out hope that these creatures are hiding so well they are yet to be discovered, rather than purely a figment of over-active imaginations. While these supernatural creatures are waiting to reveal themselves, her pet preference is staunchly feline, and very fluffy.
She hails from a small town in the UK shires, and graduated with a First Class Hons BA in Creative Writing from Staffordshire University.
