Modern Divination

A Discovery of Witches meets The Atlas Six in Modern Divination by Isa Agajanian, a dark contemporary fantasy from a brilliant new talent. Modern Divination is the first book in the Spells for Life and Death duology. The colour of magic was gold . . . Twenty-three-year-old witch Aurelia Schwartz has always had to carefully balance her human life with her secret magical one. With a place at an elite Cambridge university college, she almost has everything she could possibly want within her grasp. Just so long as she follows the rules: Make no promises. Tell no one what you are. And never stay the night. Except Aurelia's gift of green magic has begun to fade. Worse still, someone is hunting witches - and stealing their powers. Reluctantly, Aurelia needs the help of fellow witch - and dreadfully arrogant classmate - Theodore Ingram. Together, they seek refuge among his family in the remote corners of an already-desolate town. But as she grows closer to Theodore, the power-hungry witch-killer, too, draws nearer. And they threaten to destroy everything Aurelia holds dear . . . Modern Divination by Isa Agajanian is a magical cosy fantasy with witches, featuring an academic rivals-to-lovers romance, found family and yearning.
