For the first time in her life, Bella Santini felt as though she belonged. At Yelimoon Fairy School, that feeling is about to be tested. A bully seems determined to make her life miserable. Beyond the school walls, an army of trolls is gathering, shadows are spreading across the land, and her aunt Ginekei seems determined to stir fear, suspicion, and unrest wherever she goes. As friendships are tested and danger grows with every passing day, Bella finds herself caught in a conflict that threatens both the fairy and human worlds.
