#1 - The Missing Magic of Sparrow Xia

Welcome to a world that depends on magic - but where magical powers fade away by adulthood.

The pressure is on for Sparrow Xia to develop her pitifully limited fire mage abilities at Zenith Academy. It doesn’t help that expectations are extra high for her because her older brother Ainsley’s magic is exceptionally powerful – the burn scar on Sparrow’s cheek is proof of that. Sparrow can only hope that her studies will help her discover her fire and finally make her family proud.

At Zenith, Sparrow does indeed gain magical strength – and new friends – but her life at school raises more questions than answers. Should she risk her own future in order to help others? And is Sparrow’s magic the most important thing about her?

Then a mysterious illness breaks out at school, draining students of their powers. Sparrow and her friends are drawn into the search for the cause, but they need to be careful: in a world where magic means everything, some people will go to terrible lengths to try to keep it…

#2 - The Secret Sight of Sparrow Xia

When Sparrow returns to Zenith Academy, her powers have grown. But so has the danger...

In a world where magic belongs to the young, Sparrow Xia is back at Zenith Academy to develop her magic. But after the explosive scandal that ended the previous school term, there's tension in the air: government investigators are everywhere, and suspicion lands on Sparrow because of her missing, troubled brother, Ainsley. Now more than ever, the focus on students is to build up the force of their magical powers – but Sparrow knows her own powers don't work that way, and she's discovered a unique new ability that puts everything into focus.

Then Ainsley gets in touch: Zenith Academy is under threat, and he needs Sparrow's help. But can Sparrow and her friends trust him? What is this mysterious threat? And with her new talent, can Sparrow see a way to stop it?
