Feminist & Sapphic Gothic

The Incandescent

by Emily Tesh

Doctor Walden, Director of Magic at Chetwood Academy and one of England's most powerful magicians, juggles administrative duties, teaching volatile sixth-form students, and managing the school's magical security. When someone begins eating magic like one of the fae, Walden's carefully ordered world faces disruption. Tesh crafts sophisticated fantasy exploring power, identity, and institutional magic.
