Book Description
This book is about an ordinary girl who has only two friends and is unpopular. Every day at school, she gets teased and bullied by a gang of five boys because of her shaggy appearance. She lives with her older brother and his unpleasant fianc, as their parents had died in a plane accident years ago. During a Christmas holiday, her and her brother go with some friends and drive across the country until they reach the coast and board on a ferry that takes them to an unknown island. They do all sorts of fun activities and adventures. Unfortunately, this girl is always on the edge to trouble and she gets hurt a lot. But one day on the beach of this island, she dug up a strange piece of jewellery, which happened to be a very old ring. Later that night, she was curious to see how this ring would look on her finger, only to be struck with an excruciating burning in her hand when she slipped it on. The pain was so bad that she passed out and ended in hospital the next day. She had no idea what had happened. After going back home, she started experiencing strange changes in her body, appearances and mind. She began having a very bad tempers and mood swings, causing her to end up quarrelling with her brother. She went to see a movie at a local cinema with a visiting acquaintance and ended up having a brawl with her high school nemesis. She was stopped by a police officer and got into a lot of trouble. When the police officer takes her back home, her brother is outranged and then tells her that he is going to send her to boarding school in another town. She becomes outranged and when she is alone in her bedroom, she starts to notice that something is very wrong. She removes a bandage around her right hand and finds the ring that she found on the beach, along with it, was a very strange burn mark on her palm. When she tries to take the ring off, she learns that the ring is somehow attached to her finger and she somehow does something extraordinary. She look up at her ceiling fan and it suddenly turns on. She didnt touch the switch on her wall, and suddenly knows that she just did magic. After she realizes what shes just discovered in herself, she is visited by 10 magical people who tell her the terrifying truth about her life. These 10 people, 3 of them are vampires, 2 are werewolves, 4 are witches and wizards and the last creature is a magical woman, who sees the future and can move object without touching them, she is my version of a genie. She does have an ability to grant horrific wishes, but does not live and bottle or lamp. Ive forgotten to mention that this girls name is Tatiana, but nicknamed Tanya. So Tanya learns that this ring was no accident, but was her fate. She discovers that she is the newest heiress to the Silver ring of Belladonna. Tanya also learns that her ring has a dark brother, the Black ring of Belladonna. She sees that she has also become a genie of a kind, one whose life depends on this ring and not on a lamp or bottle. Tanya wants to know who these 10 creatures are and find out that they are the cruel leaders of the magical world, who keep order and enforce the rules the magical creatures have to live by. Days after the leaders visit, Tanya sees how her appearances have changed from this ring. Her hair became beautiful and straight, she no longer needed to wear her glasses and she found the need to use make-up and wear better clothes. She finally sees that she is actually very beautiful. When attending her new boarding school, she is put into a dorm with 7 other students, who turn out to be vampires. She makes friends with a few people from gym glass, who are actually werewolves.
