Strange familiars / Keshe Chow.
"Two scholars of magical veterinary science must put their lust and loathing aside to save the world as they know it in this fantastical, romantic dark academia novel. All Gwendolynne Chan needs is to get through final year. As the top student in the magical familiars stream, she is on track to be awarded Dux of the entire school-as long as the unbearably pretentious Harrisford Briggs doesn't beat her to it. Harrisford Briggs' father, the Chief Financial Officer of Magecorp, a major global distributor of magic, expects him to come top of the year. Harrisford, though, can't help but notice that his father has been acting odd. And there are strange whisperings, too, of uncontrollable surges of excess magic. When these magical surges begin to rock London, causing chaos and explosions and familiars going feral, Gwen and Harrisford find themselves reluctantly involved, putting both of their academic careers at risk. Along with Gwen's snarky cat familiar, Gwen and Harrisford must team up to diagnose the problem. But as the two academic rivals fight their burgeoning feelings, they quickly realize that magic isn't the only thing surging."-- Provided by publisher.
