Saylt & Pepper - Bishop Academy, #1

Pepper Samuels thought she was leaving Kansas for the opportunity of a lifetime—a prestigious prep school, a full scholarship, and a chance to build the future she'd always dreamed of.

Instead, she discovers she's been accepted into a world she never knew existed.

Hidden beneath the elite Blakeway campus lies Bishop Academy, a secret school where the descendants of powerful witches train to master ancient magic. Suddenly, the orphan who believed she was ordinary is thrust into a centuries-old conflict, handed her dead mother's grimoire, and told she possesses extraordinary abilities that could alter the balance of magical bloodlines forever.

As Pepper struggles to unlock powers she never knew she possessed, she finds herself caught between two dangerously attractive young men. Adam is the charming heir everyone expects her to choose. Matthew is the brooding outsider whose very presence awakens powers—and passions—neither of them can control.

Their first kiss shakes the earth.

Literally.

Now Pepper must uncover the truth about her mysterious past, the twin sister stolen from her as an infant, and the powerful families who have been manipulating her destiny long before she arrived at Bishop Academy. But every answer leads to darker secrets, and every spell she learns draws her deeper into a world where love, loyalty, and magic come with devastating consequences.

Some destinies are written in the stars.

Others are written in blood.

Perfect for readers who love magical academies, forbidden romance, hidden family secrets, found family, slow-burn chemistry, and coming-of-age fantasy filled with mystery, danger, and unforgettable characters, Salyt & Pepper is the captivating first novel in the Bishop Academy series—where one girl's search for her identity could change the fate of an entire magical world.
