Tour Schedule Amazon  * Amazon Kindle Red Madrassa by Terah Edun A magical accident threw them together. But when Fate holds all the cards, it can be impossible to tell the difference between pure chance and Destiny... The Madrassa, a magical school for mage practitioners, is the stuff of legend.

No matter how much she wants to believe Max is real, doing so would mean everything else is, too. How, then, is that possible? The answers lie in an age-old legend the supernatural aren’t prepared to reveal, and with a curse that could tear Layla and Max apa
