YA
Laurel (Wings) is called to study magic at the Academy of Avalon. Her classes are overwhelming, as is the division she feels between her faerie and human lives. A showdown with trolls gives her temporary clarity about her preference for human over magical companions. The meandering story has many loose ends, but the romantic plot thread adds spice.
