Book One: The Return of Sinestra
Young pure-blood witch Lily attends her first year at the esteemed Gerhardt School of Magic to learn the magical arts. Having lost her parents as a newborn, she lives with her godmother and her aunt Bella, one of the teachers at the school.
As the year progresses, strange things begin to happen that indicate that Sinestra, the dark witch responsible for the murder of Lily’s parents, has returned. But when Lily and her friends are suddenly sucked away to a trap that was orchestrated by Sinestra, Lily learns a horrifying truth not only about herself but also about the death of her parents—a truth Bella has known all along but never revealed to Lily.
Fans of Harry Potter will love The Return of Sinestra, which reveals that what matters is the bond between people—and that blood is not always thicker than water.

Book Two: Gerhardt's Secrets
Lily Black is back for more adventures at Gerhardt. But this time, the stakes are higher, and Gerhardt holds more secrets than Lily could have imagined….
Lily Black has faced Sinestra’s nefarious schemes before, but nothing could have prepared her for this. In her second year at Gerhardt, the campus is beset by a number of relentless, mysterious attacks. Trying her best to focus on her studies and stay out of the limelight this year, Lily finds that her abilities are, to her joy, far beyond what she was capable of during the previous year. That’s good. She’ll need them.
When some of Lily’s closest loved ones find themselves among Sinestra’s victims, Lily must summon up all her strength and courage to find answers, fight the darkness, and resist the powers of the evil witch.
Learning more about the past—a great war, and the adventures of those who came before her—Lily begins to piece together Gerhardt’s puzzles. But will she be able to unravel the biggest mysteries of all before it’s too late?
