The Lesson of Curses (Chronica Arcana 1)

Step into Prague's hidden world of magic. Mathea loves sarcasm, money – and her peace. But when light magic awakens within her, she must abandon her orderly existence as a law student and attend the annoyingly harmonious University of Mystical Arts and Magic in Prague. As if feminist wizards and hippie mermaids weren't enough, an irresistible rivalry ignites with the talented yet arrogant warlock Atlas. The catch: he belongs to the rival Academia Sinistra. Meanwhile, the witch Ellie is trying to carve out her place there, even though she really just wants to escape it all – if it weren't for Astra, through whom she begins to understand her overwhelming powers. When a curse is discovered at one of the two academies, the four must work together. But what if the enmity between shadow and light can never be overcome?
