Magic Returns

The construction of the East Wing is the entertainment for the girls of Spence Academy in a form they've never had before, men. They never miss an oppurtunity to go over and "check out how the construction is going" or "sketch the new East Wing". But Gemma is utterly disappointed when Kartik is not among the bunch of workers, a pang of worry disrupting her heart. One misty night, Gemma is able to open the realms back up again because of the new door in the East Wing (where the Winterlands were closed forever). She frantically grabs Felicity and Ann and are overjoyed to be back in the realms at last. Felicity, the archer, Ann, the beautiful singer, and Gemma, the magical one all play with the thing they missed most in their lives. But getting back into the realms is not all fun and games, alliances must be formed and magic restored. Worst of all, when they the deceased Pippa, she is not the same as she used to be. One of the themes of the book is desire is uncontrollable, this is proved when Felicity is blinded just by the mere sight of Pippa. Also they raving desire for magic is worrying because they need to share it and not be greedy, or the whole magical world will go into chaos. Their teenage hormones raging along with the magic, anything could happen next.
