Apprentices in Magic

Annette and Laila have always dreamed of wielding magic. When they learn 

of the chance to apply for coveted apprenticeships at Paduane's royal magical 

academy, they seize the opportunity.

       Leaving their small town behind, the girls are dazzled-and daunted-by the 

castle's magnificence. Somehow, they squeak through their auditions, only to 

be devastated when they're separated into different units: Annette to train in 

defensive tactics, and Laila to become a magical warrior. Their new world is 

exciting, but perils and deceit lurk everywhere. Not all the teachers are what 

they seem, and the stakes are much higher than just getting good grades. 

       Will these two determined girls thrive in this dangerous school of magic? And, 

in spite of being forced apart, can best friends find a way to stay true to each 

other forever?
