If she fails, she'll be kicked out of the university, losing access to higher magic and her chance to prove classic literature contained spells that rebuilt the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStill reeling from the paralyzing anxiety that made her freeze on her first attempt, she's horrified when her advisor insists she reframe her entire dissertation using Digimancy. Mages may have found a way to make computers and magic work together, but throw Bartleby into the mix, and nothing ever goes right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis time is no exception. Her revised working goes horribly wrong, creating a talking skull named Anne that narrates Bartleby's inner thoughts--even the most embarrassing ones--like she's a heroine in a Jane Austen novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFacing the scrutiny of her professors, increasingly frequent panic attacks and the impending deadline, Bartleby doubts whether she's fit to become a mage at all. Out of her depth, she recruits James, an unfairly attractive mage candidate, hoping he can help her correct the code and stop Anne's glitches in time for her exam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead, Anne leads them to a shocking and dangerous discovery: Magic students who seek disability accommodations are disappearing--quite literally. When the administration fails to act, Bartleby must learn to trust in her knowledge and skills...and begin to rewrite her own story. Otherwise, she risks losing both the missing students and her future as a mage, permanently.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Courtney Floyd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 077838764X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780778387640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mira Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Courtney Floyd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46640532652287,"sku":"9780778387640","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6c4dd7f-7abe-4c81-bcaf-7c782084ffbe.jpg?v=1740669900","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/higher-magic-courtney-floyd-9780778387640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
