![]() With every page, the story awakes in my minds eye, a combination of Harry Potter’s magic Hogwarts and the innuendo of Miriam and Karen from the Children’s Hour and then, with every chapter further in the main characters’ lives and with every flashback from Sam and Magdalene’s first encounter, Milena Mckay transposes me into the fascinating, almost magical world of Dragons, blackened with the hatred of the other characters for Magdalene and intertwined with the main character’s attraction, surrounded by so many secrets. ![]() ”The Headmistress” by Milena Mckay is an age gap ice queen lesbian romance with a magical whim surrounding Dragons, involving Magdalene and Sam, two women at different stages in life and having different ages, who even though they seem worlds apart, they share more than just their attraction for each other, mainly the salvation of Dragons. It is definitely unique in lesfic to have a novel about a beautiful ice queen of a headmistress who comes to rescue a century long lasting exclusive academy called the Three Dragons and fall for one of the teachers, in a spiderweb of situations and a complicated plot which explores the main characters and leads them towards the highest peaks of their development. ![]() ![]() I have been expecting a book like this for a long time, being an ice queen age gap lesfic lover and a sucker for amazing plots. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The company owns the "MiracleMan" rights of Gaiman, Moore and illustrator Mark Buckingham, the original artist on the "MiracleMan" comic books.
