Astrid is the only true living child of the late Queen Levana. So what do people do? They treat her horribly. She travels to many different foster homes, getting kicked out of all of them. It wasn't because she was bad. She was the total opposite of bad. Being an outcast doesn't give you much choices to be evil to someone. Her life is awfully misunderstood. Then there's school. She bullied there by, let's see.... everyone. But the worst of her many tormentors is Darrius, the heir to New Beijing's throne. Every since preschool he's hated her. For no good reason. So basically, no one cares. Until the Kelsey kids. They're the new kids at school, and everyone loves them. So obviously they'll side with everyone, and join in on the bullying. Nope. They become Astrid's only friends, confusing everyone. Now Astrid's swept up into something all teenagers get. Drama. And don't forget. Drama's best friend is romance.
