Wings

Asteria had always been taught that Fairies were better than Elves. Despite being what humans would call 'power equals', Elves were taught to bow their heads to the winged creatures. To follow their orders, to keep away from them at school, to not talk back.

She was born in the woods, away from everyone else. She didn't understand why she was kept so hidden until she went into town for the first time. Those with wings couldn't preform spells with their mind, while those without wings could. She had both. Born to a forbidden love story between a Fairy and an Elf, she was a product of something Fairies would consider illegal and odd.
Her mother told her to never hide her true self, so, everyone knew who she was. Asteria Ender, the Elf with wings. Still, she was treated the same way as Elves were, like slaves.

Asteria always questioned why Elves were treated such a way. Elves could do spells with their mind while Fairies had to create potions. Fairies only trait seemed to be their natural beauty and their wings. So how one came into power over an entire kingdom seemed confusing to her. It wasn't like he was a particularly good king either. Regardless, she bowed her head like her mother and obeyed the rules.

But when she stumbles upon a group working in the shadows to gain the respect they deserve, she begins to wonder if there was a reason why they were in power. After late nights pondering her decision, she agrees to join. As Fae, a co-leader of the organization, becomes something so much more to her, she begins to uncover the truth about the Fairies. A plan is set into place to take control when she finds information that leaves her stunned as she heads out to face her grandfather. Someone she'd never thought he'd be.
