From a young age, strange, inexplicable things occurred around Faye Rivera. Voices in her head, people appearing and vanishing before her eyes, and the list goes on. Visited by the elegant headmistress of Ilvermorny, a school of magic, Faye's exploration of her fantastical abilities are just beginning when she is uprooted from her home to move 'across the pond', now joining her ambitious stepcousin at Hogwarts.
Navigating through her role as a new student in her second year, Faye soon learns that Ilvermorny and Hogwarts have their similarities but are not so different when it comes to pureblood prejudices.
As she deals with her arrogant peers, including a certain blonde who flips from day to day and sometimes minute to minute on whether she's scum, and a professor who seems to despise her for simply breathing, forces, both within and outside the school, conspire to manipulate Faye to her predestined fate, one that links her to a dark past that many wish to forget and a path that could destroy the wizarding world.
