“A poignant, necessary entry into the children’s literary canon, Root Magic brings to life the history and culture of Gullah people while highlighting the timeless plight of Black Americans. Add in a fun, magical adventure and you get everything I want in a book!”—Justina Ireland, New York Times bestselling author of Dread Nation Debut author Eden Royce arrives with a wondrous story of love, bravery, friendship, and family, filled to the brim with magic great and small. It’s 1963, and things are changing for Jezebel Turner. Her beloved grandmother has just passed away. The local police deputy won’t stop harassing her family. With school integration arriving in South Carolina, Jez and her twin brother, Jay, are about to begin the school year with a bunch of new kids. But the biggest change comes when Jez and Jay turn eleven— and their uncle, Doc, tells them he’s going to train them in rootwork. Jez and Jay have always been fascinated by the African American folk magic that has been the legacy of their family for generations—especially the curious potions and powders Doc and Gran would make for the people on their island. But Jez soon finds out that her family’s true power goes far beyond small charms and elixirs…and not a moment too soon. Because when evil both natural and supernatural comes to show itself in town, it’s going to take every bit of the magic she has inside her to see her through.

This set contains the first three books in the More than Magic series; Semester Aboard, Snow Bound, and Soul Choice. Book One: Semester Aboard (Gold Medal winner, Readers' Favorite International Book Awards) I should have packed a stake. I thought a two-month cruise around Latin America would be filled with magical moments. I never imagined I’d be swimming with a mermaid or hiking through a rainforest with a werewolf. That is, until that fateful night when I met Thomas and the others out on deck and discovered that magic is real. Now, they’re teaching me how to use my newfound powers and what’s more, they’ve welcomed me into the close-knit little family they’ve built together. Turns out we aren’t the only paranormal beings on board, and our bloodthirsty enemy isn’t happy we’re here. A week ago, I didn’t even believe vampires were real, but now we’re being stalked by one. Trapped on the ship, with no way to call for help, it’s up to us to stop him and save the rest of the passengers… and ourselves. If we can’t, we might never set foot on land again. Book Two: Snow Bound The wrong person has learned our secret… It has been five months since I found out that I’m a witch. Even my familiar, Rak, isn’t a replacement for spending time with the other magical beings I grew close with over the summer. A ski trip with them is exactly what I need to immerse myself in magic again. It’s wonderful being back with everyone without a vampire stalking us… but the slopes aren’t as peaceful as they seem. Throw in the surprise arrival of my non-magic cousin, a blizzard, and a suspicious werewolf next door, and our relaxing vacation is turning into a nightmare. After an attack leaves one of us on the brink of death, the race is on to defend ourselves from our mysterious enemy. My magic is stronger now, but will it be strong enough to save my friends, my cousin, and get us all off the mountain alive? Book Three: Soul Choice Forget everything you know… about magic. Taking classes to improve my spell-casting and learn more about the magical world has hit an unexpected snag: people keep mistaking me for someone else. And it’s clear that my double is not a popular witch. I try not to worry about it, until being mistaken for her gets me kidnapped by people who want revenge for what she did. But taking me hostage is only part of a larger plan and when Thomas and the others come to my rescue, we find ourselves caught right in the middle of a sinister experiment. Turned into unwilling test subjects and given a dangerous potion, we have less than a week to get the antidote and the clock is ticking fast. But the casualty rate in the experiment is high and at least one of us is already dying. Our only chance rests with the kidnappers and my double. Trusting them might be a mistake, but we don’t have another choice. The More than Magic series is a New Adult Urban Fantasy series, packed with witches, vampires, shifters, elementals, and a host of magical creatures. If you like paranormal characters with found family, a dash of sweet romance, and twists and turns you can sink your teeth into, grab the first three books today!
