S. Isabelle is a reader, writer, and hoarder of books. After earning a master’s degree in library science, she took that love of reading to youth librarianship. Her short story “Break” was featured in the anthology Foreshadow: Stories to Celebrate the Magic of Reading & Writing YA. The Witchery (Scholastic Press), her debut YA novel, follows Logan, a new witch arriving at Mesmortes Coven Academy in Haelsford, Florida. At the Academy, the infamous Red Three take her under their wings. There is Iris, a deathwitch, who wants nothing more than to break the town’s curse; Thalia, the talented greenwitch, on the run from her religious family and her past; and Jailah, an extraordinary witch whose thirst for power may yet lead her down a dark path. With the Haunting Season approaching, Wolves will soon rise from the swamp to kill. Humans and witches must work together to survive the yearly onslaught, but the history between them is long and bloodied. Still, when students of the Hammersmitt School start turning up dead, the witches realize they’ll have to stop the Wolves themselves. Yet old dangers lie in wait.
