14-year-old Alexia has always struggled with making friends. She often pushes them away, overreacting and angering her peers. As a result, she is very lonely. Between her busy parents and prankster younger brothers, chores are often piled on Alexia. She doesn't feel very appreciated, and so she doesn't appreciate others. Seems fair, doesn't it? But when she accidentally ends up in Illicia, the magical realm, she has to learn -and fast. But between school, friends, and her newfound passion for dragons, she struggles to keep her priorities straight. Will she be able to keep her important people close, or will she continue driving her friends away until there are none left?
