Ikepela Ives is a regular teen enjoying her senior year and planning for college. Sure, it's been hard being raised by her single dad on the island, but her life is good. That reality shifts when the clock strikes 10:21 AM on the day of her 18th birthday. At the exact moment she entered this world, she is pulled into another by a fiery Goddess. Her eyes are forced open, in more ways than one, with a few devastating family secrets. Add an unwanted epic birthright as the cherry on top to make this the worst birthday ever.

And Ikepela is having none of it.
