The Awakening

## Official Synopsis

I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae.

But of course there’s a catch - all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

The school they’ve sent me to is both dangerous as sh\*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon and don’t even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on people’s emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy.

Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if I’m going to beat down my classmates – which is actively encouraged by the way.

My biggest problem is the drool worthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell.

All I’ve got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas.

Dammit, why couldn’t I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts?

## Plot

The book begins with one of the main characters, Darcy, trying to break into their former foster home in Chicago in hope of retrieving the hidden money they collected over the years. Darcy was selling unwanted items for her classmates and Tory was stealing motorcycles. After she finds the cash the police knock at the front door and in her attempt to escape she drops the money.

Tory manages to jumpstart the bike and arrive at the location of the exchange unscathed and thanks to her disguise unrecognized. After she sells the bike for less money than what she was hoping for she goes to the upstairs bar where a man demands to talk to her. She manages to escape him but he catches up to her and makes her let him into their apartment. The stranger introduces himself as Professor Orion, explains to them their true history and transports them to Zodiac Academy via Stardust where they take part in their Awakening and they meet Sofia. After the ceremony all the students head to the Orb where the twins' presence is announced to the rest of the school by Principal Nova who then introduces them to the Celestial Heirs. Their meeting doesn't go smoothly and Caleb drinks Tory’s blood. Max holds back Darcy but she manages to push him off her using air magic. After the fight they are asked to choose separate Houses and follow their House Captain to take part in the initiations.

The following morning they head to the Cardinal Magic class that's taught by Orion where he informs them that in order for a student to fully enroll, they have to pass The Reckoning. Later Principal Nova enters the classroom and informs them that they have to attend Liaison Lessons in order for them to catch up to their classmates. She assigns Orion as Darcy's Liaison. Afterwards they head to lunch and then Darcy heads to Air Element Class while Tory has Fire Element Class where Professor Pyro appoints Darius to help control her power.

After her Air Element Class Darcy is heading to her liaison lesson when she runs into the heirs who use their combined power to create a hard, mud exoskeleton. During her Liaison lesson Orion assesses her power levels and informs her that they're all really high. Tory follows Darius when he secretly meets with Orion and she later meets Darcy to confide with her about her suspicions. The following day Orion bites Tory during his class and Caleb attacks him because Tory is his Source and Orion declares Darcy his source.

On Friday night they decide to visit Tucana with their friends. While they’re there they receive a message from Falling Star about meeting in an alley but while they're waiting they hear a rattling noise and they feel something draining their powers so they run. Later, they find out that something attacked Geraldine.

During a school dance later that week, Falling Star reveals himself to the twins and tells them how their parents died. Later that night in order to break their spirits,Seth chops Darcy's hair and the other Heirs almost drown Tory because they learned that those are their worst fears. After Orion saves Tory they hear people screaming and they find a burned, dead body.
