In a troubled, caste-based fairy world, orphaned Zaria comes of age as one of the most powerful fairies alive. Torn between the wonders of our world and the needs of her home, she must also overthrow her dangerous mentor and unravel the mystery of her family's disappearance. Zaria is unusually mature for a fourteen-year-old, but her loyalty, determination, and humility make her an engaging heroine.
