Maesie McKinnon's Magical Affinity

Of course, fourteen-year-old Maesie McKinnon can't have an affinity for wielding water like all the other Sorcerers in her life. No, she can't just be a normal first-year student at Hinterland Academy for Magic. She can't keep her magic from exploding, or compete in Tournament, or avoid making enemies, or date Terran—the handsome boy with sad eyes who might really like her.​​

Instead, she has an affinity for wielding fire. And she has Cináed—an ancient dragon reborn as her juvenile familiar.

And forbidden rune magic, which beckons her down a path unknown, compelling her to unravel the true cause of her father's death.

The trouble is, this path might just unravel her entire world as she knows it.​​​​
