Schooled in Magic by Christopher G Nuttall

Kidnapped and flipped to an alternate universe, Emily, is held at the mercy of an evil necromancer, intent on sacrificing her to the dark gods.

That is, until she is rescued by a kind sorcerer, who realizes that Emily is a Child of Destiny that has yet to discover her powers.

The sorcerer has her flown to Whitehall School on the back of a dragon, causing a stir among the students, who all know that dragons don't give rides to just anyone.

Enrolled in advanced classes, Emily starts out feeling like some kind of pawn, but as she grows to know her environment and it's culture, she uses skills from her own world to assist her advancement.

But what she doesn't know is that the necromancer isn't finished with her yet.

Schooled in Magic is a wonderful mash-up of Harry Potter meets King Arthurs court.

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

Have you every finished a book and regretted reading it so fast? Well, Legendborn is that book for me. I just couldn't put it down. 

This is Tracy Deonn's debut young adult fantasy, and she knocked it straight out of the park. As soon as I finished Legendborn, I was scouring the internet and basically stalking the writer, in order to find out when book two will be released.

The main character, Bree Matthews, struggles with the loss of her mother. And, wanting to escape all the sympathetic stares from those who know her, decides to attend UNC-Chapel Hill.

Bree's life is forever changed from the moment she enters the college, discovering the reality of Arthurian Legends and African American Hudoo, as she soon comes to realize, that she too, has magical powers of her own. Bree must navigate her way through racism and sexist attitudes as she battles magical and  demonic attacks, and infiltrates the order of the Round Table.

The Fallen Arises by Ryan O'Hara

In a world where magic and mages exist, a fragile peace is about to crack. For decades there has been a division between the white Moerasian Order and the infected by Black Torvarians. As an old prophecy comes to fruition, raising the tension between the mage orders, witch hunters seek to open Pandora's Gate. But before all hell breaks loose, a young orphan named Dorothy discovers the world of magic. 

Taken in by the Moerasians, Dorothy's true parentage raises more questions than there are answeres, and little does she know she may hold the key to the future for every mage on earth.

Filled with action and magic, The Fallen Arises is a great read for anyone who loves fantasy fiction.
