Witch and Wizard Books in Order

The Witch & Wizard series begins in a version of the world where a controlling regime called the New Order has taken over. Rules are everywhere, young people are disappearing, and ordinary family life can collapse in a single night. When siblings Whit and Wisty Allgood are seized and taken from their parents, they have little idea why they have been targeted, or what they are capable of.

Whit and Wisty soon learn that they are not ordinary teenagers. He is a wizard, and she is a witch. Their powers arrive alongside fear, confusion, and the immediate problem of surviving a government that wants people like them gone. The early books balance magical discovery with the danger of imprisonment, propaganda, and a world where speaking out can put everyone close to you at risk.

They have to grow up fast.

The siblings are the heart of the series. Whit is older and often feels responsible for getting Wisty through the chaos, while Wisty is younger, impulsive, and unwilling to quietly accept the New Order's version of reality. Their arguments, loyalty, and shared memories keep the story grounded even when the action heads into strange magical territory. Their parents and allies matter too, but the core question is always whether the Allgoods can stay together long enough to fight back.

This is fantasy with a dystopian engine. Magic is important, but it does not make life easy. Every new ability brings another reason for the regime to fear them, and every victory tends to reveal a larger threat. Across the series, the conflict expands from escaping danger to challenging the people who have reshaped the whole society around fear and control.

The tone is quick, dramatic, and built for readers who like short chapters, chases, cliffhangers, and clear good-versus-evil pressure. There are frightening moments, but the books also leave room for sarcasm, sibling banter, and the stubborn hope that young people can change a broken system. The magical world gets stranger as the story goes on, yet the emotional stakes remain close to home.

Emily Raymond is credited with James Patterson on The Lost, the final novel in the main saga. By then, Whit and Wisty have already faced major enemies and begun taking on new roles in their city. A wave of crime, growing hostility toward magic, and a powerful new opponent force them to question their abilities, their trust in the public, and even each other.

Start with Witch & Wizard for the siblings' arrest and first discovery of magic. Read forward to The Lost for the final stage of their fight. It is a series for readers who want rebellious teens, family bonds, and fantasy action that keeps asking what freedom costs.
