The Incandescent

"What if you never left the site of your greatest adolescent screwup and stubbornly insisted you could do better for the next generation? Saffy Walden is the director of magic at Chetwood School and its most infamous alumna, having risen from precocious teen to fearsome demonic incursion expert. Her unorthodox doctorate studies into containing demons within puny mortal flesh demand equally staggering brilliance and hubris. When Chetwood’s resident slumbering demon awakens, Saffy’s interventions reveal the far greater threat that lurks beneath her own skin. This eminently worthy new addition to the “magic school” canon interrogates academic burnout, arrested development and the futility of inking over past mistakes while ignoring how you branded yourself in the first place."
