Through queer happenings, laughs, and wrath's of various kinds, things go topsy turvy for the two unlikely friends.

Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat.

When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom.

[DISCLAMER] The story is currently on hold until I figure things out. The story is slightly inspired off of the theme of Harry Potter, but plot and storyline is completely different. This book is fictional. Any resemblance of the events, characters, places etc. to The real life world is merely a coincidence. If you find any errors in the writing, I would love to be corrected! Missing some errors while reviewing and having mistakes is completely normal, as everyone makes mistakes :) My writing may not be the best, but I'm trying to improve. The first few chapters may not contain best writing style, my skill get better within the next chapters (especially from chapter 8) CHAPTERS EVERY WEEK!
