Mirror Bound

Seraphina Dovetail is still an outcast — the seventh-born daughter whose birth cost her mother her powers and her life. Professor Nikolai Barrington takes her into his home and hires her at his detective agency, giving her the chance to pursue her dream of becoming an inspector while she prepares for the entrance exam to the School of Continuing Magic.

As Sera hunts for her family and tries to keep her mind on her studies, the cases she and Barrington take grow more dangerous. Ghosts begin to possess her with a violence she cannot control, and the souls of lost witches and wizards start appearing trapped in mirrors. Behind it is a secret that threatens the whole witchling world — and what is between Sera and Barrington keeps refusing to stay professional.

Mirror Bound is the second book in Monica Sanz's Witchling Academy series.
