'Anne has always thought of herself as middling. Middling looks, middling position in the form, middling magical Gift and just a middling curve to the tip of her ears.
'Her best friend, Lady Emmeline Eversleigh, commonly known as Kitty, is not middling anything. And when Kitty drags Anne into playing a Saint Valentine's Day prank of truly wicked–and magical–proportions on one of the prefects, Anne finds herself in more than a middling muddle of trouble.
'A stand alone prequel novelette of 10,000 words in Scholars and Sorcery, a series of magical YA school stories set in an alternate mid-20th century world of magical gifts, magical beasts, and a dollop of sapphic romance.'
