The Coven: School of Magical Arts Novella Books in Order

The School of Magical Arts novellas zoom out from the main Coven battles and drop you into the chaos of running a brand‑new magic school in the middle of New York City. These stories are shorter, punchier snapshots that bridge Elemental Magic and Academy Magic while giving fan‑favorite characters room to breathe.

After pushing for more education options than Edenburg alone, Emersyn finds herself and her soulmate Deacon drafted to help launch SOMA’s Manhattan campus. They are technically still teenagers, still figuring out their own powers, and now they are supposed to help oversee an entire academy tucked into a city that already never sleeps.

In The Fire Witch, The City Witch, The Uptown Witch and The Empire Witch, lesson plans collide with demon flare‑ups, magical accidents and the very mundane headaches of scheduling, budgets and housing. Emersyn has to keep students safe, impress powerful visiting witches and shifters, and convince a skeptical city that putting a school for magic on its streets was not a terrible idea.

Because the novellas sit between larger arcs, they are full of cameos and quieter character beats. You see how the core Coven members unwind after huge battles, what holiday traditions look like in this world, and how relationships solidify when the immediate apocalypse is on pause. There are also plenty of signs pointing toward what is coming next, especially the shifter storylines that later explode in The Wolf Witch.

The School of Magical Arts set has a more slice‑of‑life feel than the main seasons, but the stakes are still real: missing children, new alliances with shifter royalty, and a campus that could turn into a battlefield at any moment. It is a rewarding detour if you want to spend more time with Emersyn and Deacon, and it fills in the gaps between the big Coven seasons without demanding that you read an entirely separate series.

Read these after Academy Magic starts but before Fae Magic if you want the full chronological experience, or treat them as a companion collection whenever you are ready for more time inside SOMA’s halls.
