Despite being raised as a noble for fourteen years, Anna’s not about to let her new status change get her down. She may have lost all that she had known at the whims of a capricious fairy, but she’s determined to show that her year of preparation wasn’t all for naught! However, the commoner life is far more different than she had expected. When Anna is faced with a whirlwind of unfamiliar experiences among a family she hardly knows, can she adapt to her new situation?

Thirteen-year-old Anna was raised in a noble household, yet she looks nothing like the rest of her family and lacks her lineage’s aptitude for magic. There’s a very good reason for that, though—a mischievous fairy switched her with another baby at birth! When this detail comes to light, Anna’s family kicks her out and ends her long-standing engagement to Edmund, a young nobleman who has always treated her with disdain. With her sheltered, privileged days behind her, how will Anna learn to adapt to life as a commoner with her new family?
