**The New York Times bestselling series!
"Maximum suspense, unusual magic--a whole new, thrilling approach to
fantasy!"
--Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author**
Powerful magic. A deadly legacy. A world at the edge of war. Prepare
to be spellbound by fantasy series, The Black Witch Chronicles.
Elloren Gardner is the spitting image of her grandmother, who drove back
the enemy forces in the last Realm War. But while her people believe she
will follow in her grandmother's footsteps and become the next Black
Witch of prophecy, Elloren is devoid of power in a society that prizes
magical ability above all else.
When she is granted the opportunity to pursue her dream of becoming an
apothecary, Elloren joins her brothers at Verpax University. But she
soon realizes that the university may be the most treacherous place of
all for the granddaughter of the Black Witch.
As evil looms and the pressure to live up to her heritage builds,
Elloren's best hope of survival may be among a secret band of
rebels...if only she can find the courage to trust those she's been
taught to fear.
