The Setting Moon — Jessica Wagenfuehr

Danger. Protests. Rebellion. All in the day of a sixteen-year-old girl. Danielle Kelson is not your ordinary elf. An orphan, a rebel, and a total genius, Dan has more than just potential. . . she has magic. In a world where male dominance is not just socially acceptable, but necessary to survival, Dan is the glitch in her worlds perfect system. Set beyond the stars of the Milky Way Galaxy, the story unfolds on a day like any other. In a matter of hours, Dan is jerked from her routine life and thrown into a world she does not understand where everyone hates her, and the secret of her magic is exposed. Against all the odds, and in the face of adversity, can she withstand the pressure? Or will the lies and cheating win? Surrounded by men with magic beyond her own, who have physical capability and each others support, Dan is unavoidably isolated. Each day becomes a trial, a test of her ability, a door slamming shut in her face. Stuck in the middle of a corrupt system that is turned against her, quitting begins to look like a comfort. But when disaster strikes, Dan finds herself suddenly pushed into the real world, where lives hang in the delicate balance between what she knows she can do and what she could be capable of. With her magic raging out of control, but her mind racing and clear, Dan and her friends embark on the adventure of a lifetime. . . An adventure that may be their last.
