Title: The Black Witch Chronicles

Author: Laurie Forest

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2017

Genres: fiction, fantasy, romance

Blurb: Elloren Gardner is the granddaughter of the last prophesied Black Witch, Carnissa Gardner, who drove back the enemy forces and saved the Gardnerian people during the Realm War...but while she is the absolute spitting image of her famous grandmother, Elloren is utterly devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above all else. When she is granted the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an apothecary, Elloren joins her brothers at the prestigious Verpax University to embrace a destiny of her own, free from the shadow of her grandmother’s legacy...but she soon realises that the university, which admits all manner of people - including the fire-wielding, winged Icarals, the sworn enemies of all Gardnerians - is a treacherous place for the granddaughter of the Black Witch. As evil looms on the horizon and the pressure to live up to her heritage builds, everything Elloren thought she knew will be challenged and torn away. Her best hope of survival may be among the most unlikely band of rebels...if only she can find the courage to trust those she’s been taught to fear.

"Don't worry, I got you." - Fictober 2023 Original Fic: The Black Witch Rating: T Warnings: non-graphic child abuse, thoughts of self-harm, panic attack

Something about this place makes her hands itch. Makes her want to take her gloves off and scratch, and pick, and peel her skin off. Something, anything, to justify the not-quite-pain in her palms and across the backs of her hands.

It takes Blair taking one of her hands and holding it between both of her own for Quinn to realize she's been tracing the shapes of her scars over her glove.

Across the back of her left hand, where it's the worst.

She makes herself laugh a little, wiggling the fingers of her captured hand and stretching and curling the fingers of her free one. "Sorry. I'm okay. Not sure what that was."

Blair's expression doesn't change, really. Her eyes maybe soften a bit, in concern, perhaps. She doesn't let go of Quinn's hand. "They thought we'd have the same kind of magic. That you were just slow." Her voice isn't strained, exactly, but it has a very distinct sort of 'holding back' tone to it. "This is where they tried to force you to make a spark, or flame, or a goddamn wildfire."

And suddenly, the hands holding hers are too much, the proximity is too much, eye contact is too--

She tears her hand free, holds it close to her chest protectively, gingerly, as--

Pain.

It's all she can think about. All she can feel.

Gasping, hunching her shoulders and shrinking away from the presence in front of her, even as something inside her shrieked that that was the wrong move wrong reaction don't let them see how much it hurts how scared you are--

A voice. Not quite soft, but not harsh, not angry. It takes ... a while ... for the sound of speech to register as words.

"Hey, hey. Quinn."

Shushing noises. She sees hands in front of her, not touching, not grabbing. Just ... present.

"With me now?"

She traces the hands with her eyes, keeps her own hands to herself, cradled in front of her. Follows the hands to wrists, to arms, to shoulders and torso. Finally manages to look up, meet blue eyes with her own.

Blair smiles, and this is soft, gentle. "Don't worry, I got you. They're never gonna touch you again."

Heelyn and Or’myr (Did you know the latter is canon faceclaim Cumberbatch...?)

Trystan (that makeover is very 2010s emo), Riv'yrel (is he, y'know...?) and Wrenfir (my goth uncle or guncle)

Thierran and Sparrow (I love this Sparrow look)

Tierney, Valasca, Ariel (unbury your gay, turn into a dragon)

My current read! The Black Witch by Laurie Forest .

It has held my attention all the way through and I can’t wait to read the next one which is currently sitting in my mailbox (I need to go grab it).

It’s been sad seeing how mean everyone is towards each other in this book but interesting to watch the characters grow and learn. I’m curious to see if the romance part grows because in Wandfasting, the first prequel, it was the main focus. We’ll see I guess!

I will say I hope we see more of the magic system in the next book.
