Private Investigator Ivy comes from a magical family but has no magic of her own and so has always been excluded from that world, which she definitely isn't happy about. When the headmaster of The Osthorne Academy for Young Mages shows up in Ivy's office with an offer she can't refuse she finds herself living at a school of magic - the same one her prodigal sister teaches at. The first thing she notices is how ordinary everything is. Tiled hallways lined with lockers is hardly the Hogwarts she was expecting. But as she begins to investigate the gruesome murder of a teacher she realizes just how little about magic she actually knows. She might not be a student, but she is definitely getting an education in magic.
