Higher magic : a novel

Floyd, Courtney2025
Books, Manuscripts
Student Dorothe Bartleby has one last chance to pass the Magic program's qualifying exam after freezing with anxiety during her first attempt. If she fails to demonstrate that magic in classic literature changed the world, she'll be kicked out of the university. And now her advisor insists she reframe her entire dissertation using Digimancy. While mages have found a way to combine computers and magic, Bartleby's fated to never make it work. Her revised working goes horribly wrong, creating a talking skull named Anne that narrates Bartleby's inner thoughts - even the most embarrassing ones - like she's a heroine in a Jane Austen novel. Out of her depth, she recruits James, an unfairly attractive mage candidate, to help her stop Anne's glitches in time for her exam. Instead, Anne leads them to a shocking and dangerous discovery: Magic students who seek disability accommodations are disappearing - quite literally.
