Course in Magic

From New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr comes a brand-new contemporary fantasy novel about an unassuming librarian who discovers that she has fallen in love with a witch Ellie loves working in her local library in the small town of Ligonier. She loves baking scones and investigating the mysterious and interesting in her spare time. And there is nothing more mysterious and interesting than the intriguingly beautiful, properly dressed woman sipping tea in her library who has appeared as if out of nowhere. The pull between them is undeniable and Ellie is not sure that she wants to resist. Prospero is a powerful witch from the magical land of Crenshaw, often accused of being ruthless in her goals and ambitions. But she is driven to save her dying homeland and a prophecy tells her that Ellie is the key. Unbeknownst to Ellie, her powers are latent. But all of that is about to change. Ellie discovers that the woman she has fallen for is a witch—and clearly a liar—she has been thrust into the community college equivalent for newly awakened witches, and she may have the answer to saving their dying magic. What is a newly minted witch to do?

“The Magicians” meets “One Last Stop” in the sequel to “Remedial Magic” by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr! After discovering she's a witch and being whisked away to the magical land of Crenshaw, Ellie wants nothing more than to spend time with her new wife, Prospero, who has magically altered Ellie's memories to convince her of exactly that. Prospero herself is guilt-wracked after erasing Ellie's memories and being forced into a sham marriage with the woman she loves for real. But Crenshaw is dying, poisoned by Prospero's enemies who want their community to return to the human world, and she will do anything to save it. The most powerful witch in anyone's memory is in Prospero's home, in her bed, with no idea that she's a prisoner there... yet. As the very fabric of their world is being destroyed, Ellie and Prospero must find a way to work together and save the world, and themselves.
