[BOOK 1 IN THE CURSED SERIES] Nothing really is normal at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (by muggle standards, at least). The portraits talk. The staircases move. There's always a hidden secret lurking around the corner. For Alison Liado and Stella Draconia, everything is normal. They are average first years at first glance, both nervous for the beginning of the school year. When both girls get sorted into Ravenclaw, even though their families historically were a part of Gryffindor and Slytherin respectively, everything changes. They now face the world on their own, without their families to help them. When a prophecy comes to light, and everything seems to be going wrong, the two girls turn to each other for help. What was originally was a harmless friendship between two young witches turns into a dire life-or-death situation where one wrong move could lead to their demise. What will happen when they are faced with a challenge many upperclassmen wouldn't be able to accomplish?

You know, some would say I had it easy. That I should be thankful for what I had. That, no matter what happens, I will always be welcomed by my friends and family. Well... part of that is true. My family will always be there for me. My friends though, well... that's another story. I'm not like the other kids at school. I'm... southern and hard worked. Spending your entire life on the family farm does that people. I've always been teased and bullied by the other kids. Until one day... he showed up. He accepted me. And It scared me. Because one day, I was going to ruin him. I was going to tear everything he loved away from him. I was going to take him down with me.

Alena Laylabeth is your average girl, except for the fact that her father is dead, her mother is insane, and her little sister is too young to understand what is going on.
