It's about Ellie Collin, an 18-year-old raised by human parents, has always felt a subtle disconnect from the world around her. On the surface, her life is ordinary, filled with the typical challenges of a young adult. However, as she delves deeper into her own history, a staggering revelation awaits her: magic is real, and she is part of this hidden realm.
As Ellie's understanding of magic grows, so does her realization that she is not merely an observer but an integral piece of this mystical puzzle. Her journey of self-discovery is fraught with danger, as mysterious nightmares that began on her 18th birthday haunt her, hinting at a dark force that seeks to claim her newfound powers.
With each passing day, Ellie learns more about her true heritage and the magical world she belongs to-a world where enchantments weave through the fabric of reality and ancient secrets lie waiting to be uncovered. Yet, the question remains: why is she being targeted, and what is the significance of the whispers that echo in her dreams?
Ellie must navigate this enchanting yet perilous landscape, seeking allies and mastering her abilities to protect herself. In doing so, she will confront the shadows of her past and embrace her destiny in a world beyond imagination. The line between dreams and reality blurs as Ellie stands at the threshold of a life-changing adventure, one where she will either rise as a guardian of magic or fall to the nightmares that pursue her.
I am insufficient. Well, that's not my name obviously, but that's what my family has decided I am.
I'm Julie. I'm 14, about to be 15 years old. I have a twin sister, Jamie. Jamie is an angel. Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment. Though they've never said that to me outright, I know that's what they truly think.
The apparent "last straw" was when Jamie fucked up and I took the fall for it. Now, I'm on my way to live with some of my more distant relatives back in Italy. They're supposed to "put me back in my place."
So now I get to go live with 3 Italian Capo's.
Sounds like fun right?

What happens when Julie gets sent away? And what happens when her relatives receives a girl they had been brought to believe was a troublesome, borderline delinquent teenager, but is actually just a confused, dissociative little girl with a messed up idea of what family really means.
And what happens when Julie comes to realise that the people she was living with, weren't all who they said they were?
