Magnolia, or Noli as her friends call her, started off as a normal girl, despite her keen ability to get into trouble. Crashing an unregistered flying car was the last straw, and the police force more or less forced her mother to send her to reform school. However, Findley School is unlike any normal boarding school. They pride themselves in sucking the life out of girls, or the Spark as the fairies like to call it, in order to create "proper" and "marriageable" society ladies. Personally, I would call it brainwashing. 
 Noli's spirit can only endure so much of this torturous school so she does the only thing she can think of: she decides to run away. When she unknowingly wishes to be "anywhere but here" while sitting in a fairy tree, she's transported to the Otherworld, the world of fairies. Attracted by her Spark, Kevin Silver, the fairy Queen's huntsman, follows her in the portal and tries to gain her confidence once on the other side. No ordinary huntsman, Kevin's quest is to find a girl with strong Spark every seven years in order to sacrifice her to stabilize the magic that bind the Otherworld and all worlds together. Unaware of the threat Kevin poses, Noli still doesn't entirely trust the fae, especially since he never delivers on his promise to bring her back home to her mother. 
 Steven (or V as Noli likes to call him) is a character I can't fail to mention. Noli's childhood best friend, he has secrets of his own and he'll stop at nothing to bring Noli back home. I admire his tenacity and his dedication to the task, especially since helping a mortal escape the fairy world isn't a small task. I would love to talk more about him but since I don't want to ruin the surprise, I'll let you discover his secrets on your own.
