The series follows twin sisters Tory and Darcy Vega, two struggling orphans living in the mortal world who are told by a stranger named Professor Lance Orion that they are the lost princesses of the Fae world, Solaria. Though they are the rightful heirs to the throne, to claim it, they must prove themselves at Zodiac Academy, a school where students harness their elemental abilities. Upon their arrival at the school, they are met with hostility, especially from the Celestial Heirs, the sons of the families who currently rule Solaria: Darius Acrux, Seth Capella, Max Rigel, and Caleb Altair. The Heirs see the twins as a threat to their family’s hold on the throne and begin a ruthless campaign of bullying and sabotage to drive them out.
