Wiken: Revival
Six hundred years after the original series, the magic is going grey, and Mulberry is a school again — barely. A new generation has to learn what keeping means.
The Eight Books
Sally's story, in order.
Mediocre Magic
Sally, a girl of no particular talent, arrives at a Mulberry whose magic is failing — and the school starts keeping her anyway.
Exceptional Magic
Being kept has a curriculum, and Sally's year turns on what the school asks of the students it refuses to give up.
Stolen Magic
What was taken from the school — and from Sally — has to be reckoned with, in a year when the greying spreads.
Borrowed Magic
Nothing at Mulberry is owned outright anymore; everything is borrowed, and every borrowing comes due.
Tainted Magic
Two towns have gone grey and a third is going; the keeper of the Hearth Line's own report says what nobody wants to hear.
Hollow Magic
The school hollows as the greying deepens, and what fills a hollow is the year's question.
Hungry Magic
The wanting gets a voice of its own — and Father Rufus appears only where the Hearth Line carries him.
Wanting
The last book: the Shade, who has been learning to speak for eight books, finally makes something of his own.
Companions
Two of Revival's people, telling their own stories.
Short Weight
Doug tells his own story, in his own “I.”
Mended
Nelly's story, in her own voice.
Novelettes
Four short books from the years around Sally's.
The River Keeper
Susan's mother, and the river she kept.
What Is Wearing You
Strife, a generation before Sally, and the name it cost her.
