Apprentice Witch series.
Now a qualified witch, Arianwyn (The Apprentice Witch) is sent back to Lull by the Council of Elders to find a book filled with magical glyphs. But the locals' demands for charms from their resident witch compete with her larger mission. Nicol expands his portrait of determined Arianwyn and the old-fashioned magic that governs her world, though the dangers that threaten both await resolution in a later volume.

Arianwyn has failed the exam for witches, and her assignment to a small village as an apprentice witch is going terribly. Worse yet, smug witch Gimma turns up to gloat, and Arianwyn is forced to work with her. Arianwyn discovers that both her weaknesses and Gimma's strengths are not what they appear. Nicol dresses this cheerful ode to persistence and kindness in a pleasant cloak of old-fashioned magic.
