Witches had been around since before we can remember. Long ago, the witches were once protectors of people who didn't have magic. The witches would be trained, each with different elemental powers. They would be taken in by the Board of Witches. But around the middle ages, the board fell to humans, and witches were forced into hiding. Nora is a modern day teenager who has been hiding as a witch her whole life. Her frizzy red hair is the only thing that seems abnormal about her appearance, but up close on her wrist she bears the mark of a witch. She thinks that her life could not be any different, but then she and her friends are discovered by the Board. She then meets a boy named Ander, who saves her from a near death experience. He has strange powers but does not bear the mark of a witch. He also works as the leader of a criminal justice group called Sangre, which the police have been investigating. Ander and Nora don't know what they're in for, but now know that they have to stick together. It doesn't cross their minds that their small discovery will turn into a full blown war. This story is split into two different books, the different parts saying when to switch. This is a collaborative story. Find the rest in anderkawasaki's profile.
