Synopsis via Goodreads:
A Prophecy made long ago, announced the arrival of the new Ladies of Elements.
And now almost a millennia later, it finally came true …
All her life Arima thought she knew who and what she was. That is until the day of her sixteenth birthday came and her world is turned upside down, when she’s told she’s not a White Witch but Lady Spirit. And that she is the one that has been foretold, will unite the Five Ladies of Elements once again and save Ilendia and the Other Lands from Ahriman, the Demon King.
As she grudgingly starts her journey into the unknown, she is accompanied by her unicorn familiar Sirrim, Blythe, a Vampire with a dark past and Myrddin, a mysterious Ljosalfar.
And the longer her journey lasts, the more Arima begins to realise that she can’t escape her own destiny and she must learn to control her powers and learn to be a Lady for the sake of the Sisters she doesn’t know and the people of Ilendia and the Other Lands.
However, things get more complicated when Arima comes into the possession of a key. Her instincts compel her to go towards danger when she discovers that the key she holds, can unlock the legendary kingdom of Eléssima, the home of the Ladies of Elements.
She will have to make the choice to follow her instincts …
…or stay on the path that has been laid out for her.

He uncrossed
his arms and clapped them together. “So you must be the new Lady Spirit, then?”
He walked
up to her and then circled around her, looking her over from head to toe. He
stopped right in front of her and looked her right in the eyes . “You’re a lot
fatter than I thought you would be.”
Arima
sputtered indignantly and ignored Sirrim’s laughter in her head and Myrrdin and
Blythe’s choking sounds. She raised her fist and hit the Angel right on the
cheek.
Lucien
rubbed his cheek and spat out some blood. “Okay, I might have deserved that.”
“You
think, you a’zavulter?” Arima hissed
sarcastically at him.
Blythe
choked on his spit, and Myrddin gaped at Arima when he heard what she had said.
Lucien’s
eyebrows rose to his hairline . That was a new one; he’d never been called that
before. “My, my —such a temper,” he teased.
“Oh, you
haven’t seen anything yet ,” Arima told him. “You say you were a friend of the
Ladies? I can’t imagine anyone wanting you around. It’s a mystery to me why
they called you friend.”
Lucien
just grinned. “Your predecessor thought otherwise, but Lady Fire, not so much.
She hit me in the face, too, once. She looked cute with a blush, too.”
“I hope
it hurt like hell,” she snarled at the Angel.
