When family begins to encroach on her education and someone threatens her life, can her new familiar do as he promised and keep her safe, or will Imara have to use what little magic she has learned to keep herself alive? Either way, things are going to be unpleasant.

Shape Shifting 201

Imara made it through her first term without too many issues, but now that she is in the second term, a magic-draining fiend is stalking the students, and her familiar is bored with guiding her through the early stages of magic. He has taken to giving her misinformation to see if she can use her own judgment. It is a challenge she doesn't really need.

Sky Breaking 301

Sky Breaking seemed like a useful course, but its usefulness lay in the amount of credits that would count toward Imara's degree. Once she is in the course, she meets the only other student, and they strike an unlikely friendship. Kitigan is a seer who has an interest in farming and apiculture, weather magic is part of that peculiar parcel.

After a series of classes that turn into tests, Imara is happy to head to Kitty's farm for a weekend away from school, and Mr. E wants to head out and ride some sheep. Everybody has something to do, including the trespassing werewolf pack that just moved in next to Kitty's family farm.

Stealth Magic 401

Imara wants nothing more than to find a different course, but stealth magic gives her the credits she needs to stay on track, and there aren't any other options rearing their heads.

Stealth Magic is not what she thought it would be, and the idea of breaking into a home to rob an ancient artifact for her final exam was a little daunting. Luckily, Imara has friends who are going to help her through training, some old and some new.

Through some work with the XIA, she finds a tutor for her training and a place to do it. Ritual Space offers her a welcome, and the inhabitants set themselves to the monumental task of her training. The exam is getting closer and time is a factor.

Spell Crafting 501

Imara's life is going according to her plans. She has her boyfriend, her kitten, and is about to earn her degree in Magecraft and graduate. Once she has that degree, she has the right to request an application for a commercial magic license. It is the goal she has been working toward all along.

A shadow begins to haunt her during the day and stalk her when she is away from the college. She doesn't know what it wants, but it follows her with a purpose she can't fathom until she finds the identity of her stalker.

By the time she learns that it is Mr. E the stalker is after and not her, the trap has already closed.
