Old plan: Go to school, learn about my magic, fall in love with my guys, and maybe be normal for once in my life. New plan: Do all of those things. After I take care of the greedy, corrupt fae who are messing up the natural order of things. The gods have entrusted me to restore the balance between light and dark, whether I want to or not. If the fae want to keep their magic, they have to show that they deserve it. But do they? It's time for me to decide whether my people are worth fighting for.

Fi has always known there's something not quite right about herself. Not quite human. For as long as she can remember, Fi has been sensitive to other people's emotions. So sensitive, she works a night job as a cleaner to avoid being overwhelmed by all of their feelings. After a night on the town goes wrong, Fi comes to the attention of the Academy of Avalon. The obscenely beautiful jerk of a man who comes to collect her confirms her suspicions - Fi isn't human at all.

After 20 years as a not-quite-human, wondering where I belong, I've finally found my place among the fae in Avalon, and my dads want to take it away. All I want to do is avoid my family, stay under the radar, learn about my magic, and get up close and personal with my suitors. But, of course, the gods have other plans for me. Change-the-world-save-the-fae kinds of plans. Turns out I'm not really a save-the-world kind of girl. Honestly, I don't want any of this.
