Silenced Magic
Sean Ollivier doesn’t find out that David Takeda is just your run-of-the-mill comp-sci junior at Deercreek University until Sean accidentally-on-purpose outs himself as a witch. He’s surprised when David’s surprised, so Sean has to ask—isn’t David an elf? Come on, he’s attractive, he’s socially awkward, it all adds up. David insists that, no, for real, he’s not an elf. And what does Sean mean, magic?
David finds out that Sean means magic is a Thing That Exists when he takes David to his usual paranormal hangout to double-check about this alleged not-an-elf business. David has to come to terms quickly with the fact that all the regulars at Sean’s fave coffee shop, Mistletoe, are just a little bit on the abnormal side. Paranormal, actually.
Turns out Deercreek is full of witches, psychics, elves, pixies, giants, werewolves, faeries, and a thriving paranormal underground that swirls around Mistletoe. David and Sean get tangled in all of it as they hack magical databases, expose a new magic, and figure out if a witch and a human have any chance at falling in love.
