This story transports you back to your high school days when you felt out of step with the world, however for Laurel she isn't imagining these feelings as she is in fact out of step with the world. She has a secret that not even she knows about. She has always assumed she is a normal human being despite her parents finding her on their doorstep as a toddler.

Its not until the year of her sixteenth birthday she suspects anything is wrong with her. She discovers a lump between her shoulder blades which is at first very small and painless but over the course of the next few days it grows to the size of a soft ball. Suddenly and without warning out bursts wing like petals, almost gossamer thing and beautiful. Laurel is a scion from the fairy realm and she has been placed with her parents to protect the forest and the gate way to her world. She only learns of this upon meeting Tam, a fairy himself who teaches her all about her world.

This story is a light, quick and at times intense read and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes romance, adventure, fairies and magic.
