Description
Selfish Elf Wish centers on Zephyr Addler, a teenage elf attempting to blend into human life in modern-day Brooklyn while adhering to her community's strict prohibition on using magic to conceal her family's distinctive elven traits. Following her breakup with boyfriend Timber due to her keeping secrets from him, Zephyr grapples with the challenges of maintaining her dual existence without magical aid. The situation intensifies as Bella, Zephyr's archrival and the meanest girl at her high school, vows to make her life miserable, placing further pressure on Zephyr and tempting her to employ forbidden elven magic in the school halls. Set in a Brooklyn high school environment during the winter season, the story focuses on Zephyr's central conflict of balancing her secret elf identity, the no-magic rule governing her community, her romantic troubles, and ongoing school rivalries.
