The Nature of Witches is a gorgeous debut about Clara Densmore who is a student at the Eastern School of Solar Magic. She’s an ‘Everwitch’, meaning she can control all four seasons and not just one. After much tragedy in her personal life, Clara starts living off campus away from the rest of the students at her school. She vows to get ‘stripped’ of her magic when the next equinox happens, so she’ll no longer be a danger to others. Enter Mr. Burrows a teacher from the Western School of Solar Magic, and a student there, Sang Park. They’ve traveled to the Eastern School so that Sang can help train Clara with his calming Spring magic, and Mr. Burrows can oversee the training. Reluctantly, Clara agrees.

Really lovely debut!
