One day though, when the king claims he has and needs an heir to the throne because of his old age, the king demands each girl to have a test tube of their blood taken so that they can find a match for the blood heir to the throne. That just happened to be Ophelia, as she is sent off to the prestigious school of Blackthorne Academy School for Royalty, she tries to fit in with everyone else even though she is considered a misfit because of her slow magic development. She perceives more and more magic, gaining good friends along the way, preparing for the gala that officially initiates her as an heir to the throne, and official royalty.
This all goes down the drain though, when she figures out that The NightingTale, an assassin, is after her and her father (the king) to stop the gala and officiality for her to become an official heir to the throne. She must try and stop them, uncover who it is, and claim her place on the throne.
