Opis

Broken. Bruised. Battered. The current life of twelve year old Halo Lareaux. Plagued by vivid dreams of a deceased mother that becomes more realistic, Halo soon discovers that she is the daughter of a once powerful Witch known to mortals and immortals alike. Dropped off on her distant cousin's doorstep at the tender age of two, she instantly becomes a burden. Halo is subjected to harsh punishments and modern day enslavement by the one who gave a promise to protect her. The only glimpse of society is the local middle school where she is considered an outcast because she is poor and different. Halo becomes resilient to the cruel life that she endures at the hands of her family. Until.... A few days before her thirteenth birthday a magical world awakens. A realm, which co-exists with modern day society and has been patiently waiting for almost eleven years, for Halo to mature. Embark on the journey of a young girl who rises from the dirty, tattered ruins of the swamps to an ancient sorcery school where she will be whisked away to meet others of her kind. She will make lifelong friendships, have a major crush and uncover dark secrets. Unimaginable secrets that will threaten the existence of mankind and Halo's birth right to become the grandest of all magical and mythical beings. The very mystical souls she has been destined to command. Both the living.... and the dead.
