Twelve-year-old Aria's life turns upside down when she discovers she is the daughter of a magical creature and a human. Taken to the prestigious School of Magical Creatures, Aria learns she belongs to one of six magical species-fairies, elves, vampires, werewolves, mermaids, or sprites. But her lineage is far more complicated than it seems.
Assigned to the elves, Aria must navigate a world of magical politics, dangerous secrets, and creatures that don't all welcome her presence. As the daughter of the Elf King and a mortal, she becomes the target of suspicion, envy, and even danger.
With the help of her new friends-a clever fairy boy and a kind-hearted fairy girl-Aria uncovers a mystery tied to the forest surrounding the school, where naiads, dryads, and dragons guard ancient secrets.
In a world where everyone expects her to pick a side, Aria must embrace her true identity to protect both the magical and human realms. But will her unique heritage be her greatest strength-or her downfall?
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?
