Humans had never been a worthy antagonist to the fae, nothing but something they could taunt and toy with, but one eventful night, the birth of a princess changed everything... Novalie Zephyr a fae living in a poorer region of Slyvara spends her days doing what one would typically do: gardening, tipsy dancing in a tavern with her best friend, and even sometimes ending up in the wrong bed, but she wasn't mischief, she was just a girl making do with what she had that was until after a familiar walk home, a boy in unusually expensive attire hands her a letter that changes how her future will proceed. Draveth College is a place no girl like her should be, not because she's weak or likes wearing dresses; no, it is a place where creatures go and don't come back the same. They get ripped apart and rebuilt into machines for an ongoing war between Fae and Humans. It is no place for someone who lacks the experience of war, and certainly someone who doesn't have the stomach for it, which is all things Novalie. It doesn't help that the leader of the future Vanguards is after her, leaving her unable to find comfort in a place she'll be calling home for six years. ---- WARNINGS DETAILED VIOLENCE COARSE LANGUAGE MATURE SCENES DETAILED SEX SCENES MILD DRUG USE
