The only thing Kaelix knew about her biological parents was that they had abandoned her, until an invitation from an Old Man draws her into a magical world that she never knew existed. She quickly discovers that the parents she never met may have attended the very same school, but there are some people who don’t want her to discover their identities. In addition to keeping up with her mound of homework, she must figure out where she fits and who she can trust in this new and complex world she’s become a part of.

Just as she’s beginning to get her bearings, a cryptic stranger drops a mystery in her lap that she can’t help but pursue; a string of mysterious deaths that just might lead back to her parents. As she delves deeper into the search for her parents' identities she must decide whether learning the truth is worth the pain of knowing it or if some secrets should remain untold.
