Alexis Farmer has always felt different from others in Owenton, but on her 16th birthday, reality gets turned inside out and upside down. Lucas, her high school crush, fights for her affections while she dodges the head cheerleader's jealous wraith, mentally overhears classmates' thoughts, and accidentally unleashes a psychic storm, nearly destroying the school. All before the final bell rings...

When her closest friend Jade is kidnapped, Alexis crosses over into the faerie realm of Azaria intent only on saving Jade and returning home. Instead, she ends up on a quest to defeat the dark lord Morlin where startling truths are revealed. Those closest to her are not who, or what, they appear to be and she, the Chosen One, is destined to become either the realm's savior or destroyer.
