I’m a changeling, a fae swapped at birth. Under their powerful yet infuriating guidance, I return to Otherworld to train at their academy and determine to which of the four faerie courts I belong.

If I’m not murdered first. The struggles of being a vampire, am I right? This is a horror comedy reverse harem with some dark elements.
