Brystal Evergreen, 14, has always knew she was meant for great things—that is, if she could make it out of the harsh Southern Kingdom. Her only means of escape are books, but she has to come up with inventive ways to get them because it is forbidden for women to read in her nation. She has the ideal excuse to be around them—working as a maid at her neighborhood library—and she can smuggle in a few books while no one is around. However, Brystal's life is irrevocably changed when she discovers a book on magic in a hidden area of the library one day.
Despite the fact that magic is hated and forbidden everywhere, Crystal reads the book despite knowing the dire repercussions it could have. Her curiosity wins her, though. As Brystal reads aloud from part of the text, odd things start happening and she realizes she can use magic! And the more she does it, the more difficult it is to conceal.
Madame Weatherberry is a strange woman who saves Brystal after she is apprehended and found guilty. After bringing Brystal to her Academy of Magic, the woman instructs her on how to become a fairy. Brystal studies magic and makes friends with her fellow pupils while Madame Weatherberry is abruptly called away for questionable reasons. Brystal and her pals band together to locate and rescue their instructor when she fails to return. Along the way, the students learn that Madame Weatherberry's true goals for the academy are not what they first appear to be, and they encounter a diabolical conspiracy that poses a serious threat to both the fate of magic and the globe.
