Brenda Jackson has faced a harvest ritual, a coven of witch hunters, and Laveau herself. She did not expect the Arceneaux Academy for Magical Arts to be the thing that almost broke her. When the Council sends Brenda, Phoebe, and Nakia to Louisiana for a semester at the oldest Black witch academy in the country, Brenda arrives ready to learn. What she doesn't expect is a blackwood broom that recognizes her like an old friend, a portrait on the wall that strikes a chord she can't name, and an archivist who's been holding a letter for twenty-two years. The academy has something to teach her about where she comes from. But first she has to survive the version of herself that decides being exceptional is the same thing as being right. It's Giving Boss Witch is the third book in the Brenda the Hood Witch series-the one where she finds her lineage, loses her way, and learns that the most powerful thing a witch can do isn't win. It's make a place safe.
