Three-thousand years ago, humans were hunted by powerful races with wild magic until the treaty was formed. Now, for centuries, the elves have taken a young woman from Luella's village to be their Human Queen.
To be chosen is seen as a mark of death by the townsfolk. A mark nineteen-year-old Luella is grateful to have escaped as a girl. Instead, she's dedicated her life to studying herbology and becoming the town's only healer.
That is, until the Elf King unexpectedly arrives... for her.
Everything Luella had thought she'd known about her life, and herself, was a
lie. Taken to a land filled with wild magic, Luella is forced to be the new
queen to a cold yet blisteringly handsome Elf King. Once there, she learns
about a dying world that only she can save.
The magical land of Midscape pulls on one corner of her heart, her home and people tug on another... but what will truly break her is a passion she never wanted.
“The most important thing I’d learned in life? You can’t
trust people. And you especially can’t trust boys with wicked smiles and
equally wicked intentions.” ― The Awakening
You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny.
If you're one of the Fae, elemental
magic is in your blood. And apparently it's in ours. As twins born in the month
of Gemini, we're a rare breed even in this academy of supernatural
a-holes.
Changelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago
but I guess our birth parents didn't get the memo. Which means we're totally
unprepared for the ruthless world of Fae.
Air. Fire. Water. Earth.
No one has ever harnessed all four of them,
until we arrived. And it hasn't made us any friends so far.
As the rarest Elementals ever known, we're
already a threat to the four celestial heirs; the popular,
vindictive bullies who happen to be some of the hottest guys we've ever seen.
It doesn't help that they're the most dangerous beasts in the Academy. And
probably on earth too.
Our fates are intertwined, but they want us
gone. They've only got until the lunar eclipse to force us out and they'll stop
at nothing to succeed.
We never knew we had a birthright to live up to
but now that we do, we intend to claim our throne.
We can't expect any help from the faculty when
it comes to defending ourselves. So if the dragon shifters want
some target practice, the werewolves want someone to hunt or
the vampires fancy a snack then we have to be ready. But we've
been looking after each other for a long time and fighting back is in our
blood.
Today's horoscope: totally screwed.
