Jennifers Magic Books 13

Jennifer Bauer, a seventeen-year-old genius and mage survives boredom during school and magic lessons. Spending time with her best friend Sarah and her boyfriend Sergei liven her life. Boredom becomes a trivial issue after Sarah is tortured and murdered by Bad Souls--sociopathic mages led by Master Cruptor.

Jennifer fights grief and urges her friend Jason to form a cadre to capture Bad Souls. They capture a few, but Cruptor sets a trap that kills Sergei. Jennifer's attempt to shut out grief makes her catatonic. A month later, the souls of Sarah and Sergei wake Jennifer and tell her to continue the fight. She regains her fitness, improves her magic, and rejoins the cadre. They capture more Bad Souls, but Cruptor curses Jennifer, Jason, and his friend Dave. The curse causes realistic nightmares with physical or emotional pain. Jennifer's screams tear her vocal chords. Jason's cadre joins with a cadre of masters, and they capture five Bad Souls and kill Cruptor. The cure for the curse nightmares dies with him.

Jennifer studies a new method of performing magic. Her studies are interrupted--Dave's nightmare is destroying him. A Ukrainian doctor developed a method for treating curse nightmares and travels to the UK. Jennifer is relieved, until she learns that the treatment requires a realistic reenactment of the nightmare. Jason's in her nightmare, so he and Jennifer must endure extreme pain to break the curse. They do so the next day. Dave refuses treatment and becomes violent before the curse destroys his soul.

Jennifer's skills with new magic grow exponentially. She meets twelve-year-old Lahni Kurban, a genius girl who does the same magic. They instantly become friends and then honorary sisters. The meet often for magic lessons. Their sisterly love becomes intense.

Jennifer creates shields that can resist any weapon. She makes flying shieldplanes that can be invisible. She invents a way to locate anyone, and she captures all remaining murderous mages. Her power frightens other criminal mages. A group of revolutionary mages who plan to take over the UK government kidnap Lahni to prevent Jennifer from interfering. That plan backfires--the revolutionaries underestimate Jennifer's and Lahni's skills.

Jennifer and Lahni visit dying hospital patients to cheer them up and to study lifeforce and the soul when it leaves the body. Lahni and Jennifer save lives by transferring lifeforce from dying patients to ill patients. Jennifer spends time in the delivery room and discovers lifebinder, the substance that keeps lifeforce from drifting out of our bodies.

Jennifer and Lahni learn to read and send memories. Lahni retrieves memories of Sarah. Jennifer relives those memories, but she does not become sad. However, Jennifer screams when Sarah's soul contacts Lahni. Jennifer knows Lahni will be hurt by whatever Sarah wants. Sarah describes a problem that will affect the survival of mankind. Fixing it requires great sacrifices from Jennifer and greater sacrifices from Lahni. Lahni has four months to prepare. Part of the preparation is that she must become pregnant to strengthen her soul. Jennifer secretly plans to go with Lahni. Jennifer believes her soul is damaged, so she also gets pregnant and loves her unborn child to strengthen her soul.

Lahni doesn't believe she can accelerate puberty and get pregnant in four months. She asks Jennifer to become her lover so Lahni can fill the romantic love portion of her soul. Jennifer sees the necessity, but she's not bisexual and feels like Lahni is her little sister. Jennifer pushes those attitudes aside and pretends that she is bisexual with a sixteen-year-old girlfriend.

Jennifer has not driven out the last fragment of her curse nightmare. It feeds on her strong angers. If she does not destroy it, she may not succeed in preparing Lahni and herself for the task.

Sarah contacts Lahni and Jennifer earlier than expected. The nature of the task has changed. Jennifer will be of no help to Lahni, and Lahni goes alone. Jennifer's grief is severe, and she becomes a hermit. Only the life inside her keeps her from suicide.
Lahni contacts Jennifer five months later. The problem is fixed, but not in time to prevent a month-long catastrophe with millions of deaths. The deaths will increase greatly if people don't understand what's happening and blame enemies. Jennifer breaks into a BBC News show, outs herself as a mage without revealing the existence of other mages, and explains the upcoming catastrophe. She helps prevent violence in reaction to the catastrophe and saves hundreds of thousands of lives. Lahni contacts Jennifer after the catastrophe and explains the cause of the problem. She takes a unique opportunity, but no one on earth will hear from her again.
