Dale Noel and his friends were pretty average guys, ready to make the leap into collage life. They soon find themselves thrust into a world of magic, become magic users themselves (mages), and end up battling the workload of college freshmen at Western Washington University, and also the forces of darkness in Bellingham Washington, a small city north of Seattle. Dale and his Coven take their collegiate and magical educations head on, juggle their respective personal lives, and with the help of mage-friends made along the way, and an ever-watchful eye, begin to explore their new magical not-so-average lives while defending Bellingham from the growing darkness.
