Birthright

Born of two worlds, belonging to neither…

Orphaned as an infant, Maria Corelli exhibits frightening power from an early age—a precocity endangering everyone around her. To the Arcanum, it's evident that the child is a promising young wizard.

Well, almost.

Deep in Maria's ancestry is a blood tie to one of Faerie's most prominent families, a secret that must be hidden once she's old enough to make her Arcanum debut. In the meantime, alone and friendless, she finds a refuge in Faerie and begins to learn to control her talent. With only a drop of Fae blood, however, Maria doesn't fully belong in that realm…nor will she ever truly be accepted by the Arcanum if her secret is revealed. Torn between worlds, Maria struggles to find a home and forge a place for herself.

As internal dissent threatens to rip the Arcanum apart, Maria will have to decide where her loyalties lie. But Maria is playing a game with deadly stakes, and even her power may not be enough to save her.
