Alora is thirteen and is the latest Factor to join the fight against evil. She is shy, sweet and a little sarcastic. She's learning to navigate teen life with her best friends, Andrew and Andrea, which means picking out what dress to wear for her first mixed-gender party, figuring out her difficult relationship with her mother, and anxiously awaiting to learn what supernatural powers her ancestors will bestow on her.
As the only Factor female born in her generation and with the only two other Factors in the fight getting older, Alora is entrusted with dangerous powers to help fight symbiotes-beings from other realms merged with human hosts that come to Earth and wreak havoc. Luckily, Andrew and Andrea are drafted to fight alongside her, and with their help, Alora thinks she might just be able to make this work.
Born a hybrid in a world that fears difference, Malora finds her haven in the fires of the forge and the magic of potions. But when she earns a coveted spot at Vargrath Academy, she trades the quiet solitude of her village for a cutthroat world of arcane competition. Navigating the complex social landscape of Vargrath proves even more challenging than mastering her dual disciplines. She clashes with a classmate whose icy demeanor and undeniable talent threaten to shatter her confidence. As Malora struggles to find her place, she discovers that true strength lies not in victory, but in forging unexpected friendships-and breaking down the barriers that divide.
