Misfit's Rise (Alpha Academy Book 1)

A century after the Magi of Earth found sanctuary in an underground Realm, Halfbreeds and other magicless outcasts are exiled back to Earth. As a powerless Fae/Human hybrid, Billie should fit right in. Except, she's anything but powerless, making her a misfit among misfits. When her powers nearly destroy a human home, she's given a chance to return. Returning to the Realm has always been Billie's dream, but the Realm is no Fairy Tale. Despite its claims of acceptance and equality, ancient rivalries between the Realm's magical species are ripping it apart. Billie manages to land herself in the middle, a dangerous place for an outcast to be. What's more, the powerful magic that brought her there suddenly vanishes, leaving her vulnerable to those who think a misfit doesn't belong in the Realm. Staying in the Realm is her only chance to live life as a true Mage, but staying has a high price. Up to and including her life.
