Holly Prancer has spent her whole life feeling like half of everything and never quite enough. Now she has six weeks to hold five misfits together for a sacred ritual that's never failed in 500 years—or watch her parents' dream academy collapse. As the half-human daughter of North Pole Academy's Headmaster, fifteen-year-old Holly has always been caught between worlds. Not quite shifter enough for the pure-bloods. Not quite human enough to escape magical expectations. Just... in between. When she's chosen as the Unity position for the Winter Flight Trials, the sacred ritual that renews the academy's protective wards, Holly finally has a chance to prove she belongs. There's just one problem: her team is a disaster. A thirteen-year-old who gets stuck mid-shift. A transfer student expelled for dangerous ice magic. A perfectionist so controlling she breaks every bond. A half-Fae boy who doesn't fit either heritage. And Holly herself, struggling to unite people when she's never felt united inside. They have six weeks to master a fifteen-minute flight ritual. But they can barely hold formation for thirty seconds without something exploding, someone panicking, or the whole thing shattering. With the academy's protective wards collapsing faster each day, the Council waiting to replace them with "real" students, and five hundred years of tradition demanding perfection they can't deliver—Holly discovers the terrifying truth: the magic doesn't want them to be perfect. It wants them to be real. Now Holly must learn to hold her team together not by smoothing over their differences, but by making space for them. To prove that being the bridge between worlds isn't weakness, it's exactly what magic needs.
