Heroes rise from the most unlikely places. For, what others might view as unusual or irrelevant, just might be the surprising weapons needed to defeat an enemy. If Ruby existed in today's world, she would possibly be labeled with learning disabilities and perhaps a slight case of social anxiety. She is unusual in many ways. With radiant pink wings and unruly hair, Ruby stands out. But never in the way she wanted to. It is the peculiarity that draws attention to her; from her vivid imagination to her misunderstood sense of humor; Ruby is a rare fairy indeed. But even in a mysterious world where all is strange and unusual, different isn't always celebrated. The story begins at the end of Ruby's senior year and takes you through an eighteen-month journey. Ruby attends Havengothy Gardening University with her best friends, Sebastian and Ellie. It is during her years of school that Ruby develops a stubbornness to overcome. She was bullied for her poor grades and her wild hair. And if that wasn't enough, she was a bit of a klutz. But Ruby never let the bullies get the best of her. With the help of her best friends, Ruby was able to pull off some epic pranks of retaliation, usually ending with detention, but the crime was always worth the punishment. After finding a book in one of her professor's offices, her real adventures begin. The book documented magical charms that were once used by the caretaker of the garden, Neeradima. Neeradima was a forest spirit that lived in Havengothy long ago. But envy darkened her heart. Exiled for betraying her land, Neeradima had one goal; To destroy the two ruling spirits of her former home. But the only way to hurt them was to wound or distort their beloved creation. Her servants cunningly lure the victims away from their safe garden. Targeting the lonely, unhappy, or unusual; manipulating them to question their king and his goodness. Then, the evil servants would offer a solution to end the misery of their victims; a new life. They only needed to sacrifice one thing. A message from the author; If you're struggling with fitting in or mortified by how you might stand out, embrace your strange! The world doesn't need another same o' same o'! You, my friend, are a remarkable masterpiece. Stop the crazy comparison game. One day, you will look back on these years and smile. I promise. Until then, focus on who loves you and who is there for you. And if you need help, be brave and ask for it. Remember, you are highly valued and deeply loved. - Holly
