The Lindsey Barron Series is the US answer to Harry Potter. A hundred years ago, wizards and witches finally came out, openly working their spells, accepted by those who have no such skills. Around the country, magic schools were established, where the students go to learn both their traditional subjects and also magic. When they graduate, they have a high school diploma as well as mastery of much magic. Set in our future, now twelve years old, Lindsey discovers that she has been given a full scholarship to Bradbury's School of Magic, somewhere near Telluride, Colorado. Her father, though she did not know it, was a famous wizard, primarily responsible for capturing the incredibly evil wizard known as Dominus Malefic, some fifteen years ago. Now Dominus has escaped and the action begins Now in her third year at Bradbury's School of Magic, a strange hurricane becomes stalled for months over south Texas, wreaking havoc. Mountains of snow plague Colorado, but massive flooding forces massive evacuations in Texas. The hurricane is being held in place by a recently discovered artifact, the Crown of Moses, which has been stolen by Dominus. In her attempts to unravel the mess, Pam discovers the location of Dominus and the Crown. However, Lindsey, Pam, and Ashley are captured and tortured. Lindsey now faces Dominus once more, as his men capture her and her friends. Somehow she must get free. Later, Dominus captures Governor Alister, threatening to drown him. Lindsey's new adopted sister, Ashley Stokes proves her mettle as a Diviner, discovering that he has captured Alister and roughly where he is being held. Amanda tracks them to their location and the professors and students rescue him.
