Manipulating Magic

This omnibus edition collects the cozy fantasy duology Teaching Magic and Trial by Magic into a single volume.

Nyine Hunter's best friend has referred her for a job. The problem? It's teaching at a magic school for the wealthy and well-connected. Not Nyine's typical line of work or preferred circle of people. And she's not sure why anyone would think it's a good idea.

The other instructors see her as an uneducated upstart. Nyine knows magic but she doesn't understand formal education systems. Her students have their own problems.

There is more to teaching magic than classes. Just when Nyine starts to feel like she belongs, that maybe she has a future at the school, she learns just how easily she could lose it all. Someone is trying to sabotage the annoyingly attractive Administrator, and if he goes, so does Nyine's job.
