Sometimes I'd rather shield my eyes than see darkness in light.It was my senior year at Hawthorne University when everything fell apart. I mean, all my witch friends got along fine-sort of. But I was nervous about my love life. I just had to get into Hawthorne's graduate program, because my boyfriend was going to be a professor. I didn't want to lose him. I didn't want to lose anyone.And things got weirder. A witch was threatened with sacrificial murder. Another witch spent all day murmuring to herself, in the center of a circle of candles, on a pentagram she painted in her dorm room. It all pointed to the wicked witch of the Abaddon coven. If I was right, it might just take a full-fledged witch showdown to stop her.So? Bring it on. What did I have to lose? Just everyone I love. And maybe my soul.

I used to not believe in witches. Until I enrolled in Dr. Alondra Johansen's metaphysical history class. Bryce, Alondra's super cute teaching assistant, told me my element sign is Earth. I am, in fact, a pragmatic sort of girl. My name is Cadence Hawthorne, but you can call me Katie. Darkness fell over me and my family during my sophomore year. I thought maybe Alondra could help me with my grief and visions of ghosts. But there was this guy working with her, with a goatee and sardonic smile, who looked more like the devil than a professor. He did terrible things to my best friend, threatening my growing love for Bryce. Do you believe in ghosts? How 'bout witches? I do. See, it was at Hawthorne University that I learned all about them. Come take a look in my grimoire. I wrote it all down here in Broomstick.

It is now 2244 and the all-female society of Arkite is on the brink of revolution. Only the return of the Mother Savant can hope to maintain order.Savant Elise Jackson, Arkite’s supreme leader, is stricken with terrible grief over the recent loss of her lover. She has spent the last two years with her assistant, Sara, trying to repair and genetically engineer her lover’s damaged body and mind. But the Viceroy of Pyramid City and her followers in the Savant Council have no interest in squandering the city’s resources for Elise’s personal gain. With the help of the mainframe AI, they will vie for power, even attempting collusion with Sara and sabotage.  And even if her enemies fail and Elise somehow manages to revive her lover, Elise knows she’ll have to vie for something she covets even more—her lover’s love. For Sara once loved her just as much, if not more.Mother Savant is the sequel to Candy Savant.

In 2234 men are extinct, having been deemed unnecessary.This is the story of Candice Harlow, a brilliant young scientist arranged by Arkite's supreme ruler, Elise Jackson, to lead the Savant project. A.I. is forbidden to experiment with human genes, so it enlists researchers-Savants. Savants work to create a human being from scratch to serve as a blueprint for immortality. Candice likes her newfound wealth and status, but she's not sure she likes Elise. Elise is unhinged. She's manic, has a furious temper, and seems to care more for Candy's dollface than her scientific aptitude. By day, Candy flies her bike to HQ laboratory. By night, she's whisked off to fancy restaurants and nightclubs. The project's genesis is not unlike Frankenstein's creature. Though not hideous, the creation is shunned by the all-female society. Candy shelters and cares for the creation, but not before she's unfairly betrayed and accused of the worst possible crime.
