The Phoenix

Kestra has never been normal. Not since the day she discovered she was a Mara Beast, which were once an exalted race of humans with special connections with animals. They were once considered gifted, but now they are only viewed as myths and cursed beings of the human race. She's spent her whole life hiding until an old friend of her father brought her to Everest Academy. But someone at the Academy is hiding a secret. Now Kestra must navigate her new life, survive fierce competition among the other students and attempt to ignore her growing attraction to one of her fellow classmates, Fabian who seems determined to get close to her, as she searches for answers.
