Synopsis:
You have been selected to attend Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny.
If you're one of the Fae, elemental magic is in your blood. And apparently it's in ours. As twins born in the month of Gemini, we're a rare breed even in this academy of supernatural a-holes.
Changelings were outlawed hundreds of years ago but I guess our birth parents didn't get the memo. Which means we're totally unprepared for the ruthless world of Fae.
Air. Fire. Water. Earth.
No one has ever harnessed all four of them, until we arrived. And it hasn't made us any friends so far.
As the rarest Elementals ever known, we're already a threat to the four celestial heirs; the popular, vindictive bullies who happen to be some of the hottest guys we've ever seen. It doesn't help that they're the most dangerous beasts in the Academy. And probably on earth too.
Our fates are intertwined, but they want us gone. They've only got until the lunar eclipse to force us out and they'll stop at nothing to succeed.
We never knew we had a birthright to live up to but now that we do, we intend to claim our throne.
We can't expect any help from the faculty when it comes to defending ourselves. So if the dragon shifters want some target practice, the werewolves want someone to hunt or the vampires fancy a snack then we have to be ready. But we've been looking after each other for a long time and fighting back is in our blood.
Today's horoscope: totally screwed.
My Opinion:
I attempted this book a second time after trying to read it at the beginning or mid-to-late August but just didn't have the time. I was sick from both shots when it came to the Covid vaccine. So when I was home recovering I was literally sleeping the whole time. However, this time when I started the book I got all the way through it and fell immediately in love with it. I just had to pick up the second book.
Let's meet the twins, Tory and Darcy, the long lost twins of a king and queen that were murdered when they were babies. The girls were thought to have been lost as well but they were not. They were sent to the human realm and swapped with human babies.
We meet our first professor at the school that they are going to be going to when Darcy is running from the cops but we don't know it yet. We meet him again when Tory is leaving the bar that she goes to after she steals a bike. So much has obviously happened to these girls and when Orion tells them that they are the lost princesses of Solaria who wouldn't want to jump for the money with the way their lives have been?
The Celestial heirs are soon met when the girls arrive after they have discovered they have an affinity for all four elements. Of course the men are threatened by the girls even though they know nothing of the place they are in or control of the elements they wield. The four of them are determined to make their lives living hell.
