Four years had passed since the death of Manny Noceda. Their mom, Camila, was struggling to get by, never home and constantly in and out of the hospital taking up shifts, the youngest daughter, Luz, was barely ever able to keep out of trouble at school and struggled to fit in, and the oldest, Lucía, was in constant arguments with her mom until she finally packed up all of her things in the night and ran away from home six months ago. The only thing left behind was a letter with the words "I'm making this house worse and worse" written in it. Now, Luz attending a "Reality Check Summer Camp" was supposed to make everything better, everything normal. But after running off that bus to camp to chase after her one prized possession, her Good Witch Azura book, one thing led to another and now she had ended up in some old, isolated, and hidden town named the "Boiling Isles." Everything had changed since the death of their papá. Balancing guilt, trying to conform, broken relationships, and more, it felt impossible. There were lies, secrets, and entire lives hidden from one another, and it was only a matter of time before something or someone finally unraveled it all. "I'll never be good enough for you," she said.

Instead she's a scared infant looking for her dad when suddenly she is brought to emperor Belos. Belos immediately recognizes her as a human and takes her in and raises her to be a witch. When Luz comes of age she will be sent to Hexside to attend her freshman year and make new friends. Wonder what she'll learn and who she'll become friends with? Will she find out where she's truly from? Will she get treated differently because she's the emperor's daughter? (twixstari on insta)-The artist of the cover :)
