Academic rivalry is beastly . . . Gwendolynne Chan just needs to get through her final year at Seamere College of Magical Veterinary Sciences. She's used to being the star healer of magical familiars - except when the obnoxious but annoyingly handsome Harrisford Briggs knocks her from the top spot. Harrisford Briggs was born into privilege. His father, the Chief Financial Officer of Magecorp, one of the biggest global distributors of magic, expects nothing less than the best. And to top it all off, incurable swot Gwendolynne Chan is on track to beat him. The last thing he needs are the strange whisperings of uncontrollable surges of excess magic - because Harrisford can't help but wonder if his father and Magecorp has something to do with it . . . When these magical surges cause animals to wreak chaos across London, Gwen and Harrisford are forced to team up. These bitter academic rivals must put aside their duelling feelings of lust and loathing, and - along with Gwen's snarky cat familiar - save the magical world.
