Black Witch Chronicles series.
Elloren has unofficially broken with her oppressive home country, joining a united undercover rebellion with her brothers and school friends. Every day, it's a race to evacuate all those she cares about while personally battling her attraction to two powerful men as well as her grandmother's destructive witch legacy. This sequel to The Black Witch is once again a timely portrayal of gender and racial oppressions.

YA
Elloren physically resembles her iconic Black Witch grandmother but lacks her powerful magic. At elite Verpax University, Elloren encounters unsolicited trials as well as other races her kind historically distrusts. Gradually illustrating overt and institutional bigotry, readers dive deep into the fantasyland's history and social politics as the novel chronicles Elloren's progression from a position of prejudice to one of more openness.
