Dreams Come True
Hidden somewhere beyond the highest clouds is the castle of Destino, a school for very special students. They’re the Melowies, little unicorns born with a symbol on their wings and a hidden magical power.
But Destino is also a place where friendships are born, where the Melowies find their courage, and where they learn their path to growing up. Five of the students are Clio, Kora, Maia, Selene, and Electra. And the time destined for them to meet has now arrived.
The Song of the Moon
The Melowies are required to perform a musical in front of all of Destino. Selene does not want to participate because she made a fool of herself the last time she performed publicly. With a little encouragement from her friends she auditions and wins the role of the moon! A rival Melowy sabotages her performance, throwing green pain all over Selene's costume before the performance. Nevertheless, she closes her eyes and sings. The school is amazed by her voice and both teacher and peers praise her performance.
The Night of Courage
The Defense Techniques teacher tests the girls on their survival skills, leaving them in the Forest of Colors overnight. They use a manual she has left them to build shelter and cook dinner. Electra wanders from the group in the night and gets lost, sending the rest of the Melowies on a mission to find her. They split up and use different skills to pass the test.
Upon returning to Destino they learn that the missing Melowy was all part of the test of frienship. They all passed with flying colors, even with their rival Melowy Eris trying to foil their plans.
The Ice Enchantment
The Melowies finally start the Art of Powers class which teaches them to strengthen the power they were born with. Clio, having been left at Destino when she was born, does not know the realm she is from and does not know what her power is. She must take lessons in all of the realms in order to find out which she belongs to. Clio learns she is not the first Melowy to be unsure of her Realm. Hidden in away in a book she finds a page that makes her jump: "Such a power will not appear for many years; not until the arrival of a Melowy whose realm will not be known, who will be found…" The rest of the book is destroyed.
Clio sees Eris casts a spell that weakens Kora's powers so that she can surpass her in class. Kora and Clio work together to stop Eris and ruin her plan. Kora receives the highest marks, using her Winter Realm power to create a beautiful ice sculpture of Clio for class.
The Surprise Visit
Maya's mother Amaryllis comes to visit the Castle of Destiny. She brings along Maya's brother Leo as a surprise. But on an expedition into the Neon Forest, Leo gets himself into trouble. Can the Melowies rescue him?
The Secret Book
It is time for the Feast of Harmony and all the Melowies in Aura are ready to celebrate. Everyone except Cleo, who doesn't know which realm she belongs to. She prefers to take comfort in a book she borrows from Eris, but she quickly learns that the company of a book can be dangerous.
La force de l'amitié
Bienvenue dans le monde magique des Melowy, les petites licornes ailées !
Kora et Électre sont impatientes d'assister au cours de mode de la styliste Kallista. Alors que chacune doit créer sa propre robe, la perfide Éris jette un sort pour diviser les deux amies. Leur amitié survivra-t-elle à cette épreuve ?
Le bal de la princesse
Cleo est très excitée ! Elle va passe pour la première fois des vacances hors de Destiny, chez son amie Séléna. Mais, au royaume de la Nuit, son collier attire bein des convoitises. Quel secret cache-t-il?
Le palais de cristal
Après des vacances bien méritées, les Mélowy sont de retour à Destiny. Mais Kora manque à l'appel. Que lui est-il arrivé ? Très inquiètes, Maïa, Séléna, Cléo et Électre se rendent au royaume de l'Hiver pour retrouver leur amie.
La recette du printemps
Destiny organise un concours de patiserrie présidé par le célèbre chef Patachou. Maïa est prete à mettre les bouchées double pour épater le sévère juge et gagner le concours. Mais elle manque terriblement de confiance en elle. Heureusement, Cléo, Kora, Électre e Séléna son là pour encourager leur amie!
La magie de Destiny
Une nouvelle librarie vient d'ouvrir à Destiny. Son propriétaire, un Mégas au regard de braise, fait fondre toutes les élèves, sauf Cléo! Convaincue que c'est un espion envoyé pour détruire l'école de magie, la Mélowy décide d'enqueter avec ses amies.
Des amies de reve
Horreur ! Destiny est attaquée par l'infame Supreme et ses alliées! Leur objectif? Dérober le précieux Diamant Blanc qui maintient l'harmonie d'Aura. Mais Cléo, Maïa, Électre, Séléna et Kora sont bein décidées à les en empecher!
The Test of Magic
When flying unicorns called Melowies turn fourteen they go to school at Destino, a legendary castle hidden somewhere in the clouds. Here they develop their special power, which lies dormant in them until they finish school and discover their place in the world. What lies ahead for the impressive group of Electra, Selene, Kora, Maia, and Clio, each destined for their own paths? Dreams, adventure, and friendship around every corner!
The Fashion Club of Colors
Destino’s esteemed Fashion Club is holding open auditions. Electra and Selene, the most fashionable of the Melowys, simply must try out. But when the spoiled Eris also has her eyes on the club, she can’t help but meddle and get her hooves dirty! Will Electra and Selene make it to the Forest of Colors for their auditions without being fashionably late?
Time to Fly
Many Melowies from Destiny try out for a spot on the Aerobatics team, but only six will be chosen. The Aerobatics Competition is between Destiny and the School of Chance, which means that Cleo's new friend, Toby, will be on the opposing team. Cleo really likes Toby, but when Eris sees him, she decides to steal him away. So, while Destiny and the School of Change compete in Aerobatics, Cleo and Eris are competing with each other for Toby! But Eris doesn't always play fair. What happens when Eris' scheme spins out of control?
You might be wondering why the content of this page is half in English and half in French. Well, the original books were written in Italian, and my library only had the French editions, but I was able to pick up the English info off of Goodreads, at least for a few of the books (perhaps not all were translated yet). On the other hand, the graphic novels my library had only in English. Complicated?
Language notwithstanding, this is a fun series of a group of young female unicorns heading off to a magic school. I must admit I had a few issues with it, like it's rather elitist where only the unicorns that are born with special marks on their wings can go to this school. And also one of the courses they teach is fashion. But on the whole, it's a tale about friendship and getting through challenges together and finding your place in the world. And of course dealing with the school bully, because not all the unicorns are kind and friendly, some are spiteful and jealous.
And in the background, we see glimpses of things going on far beyond the boundaries of the school, a takeover of some sort of Aura, and hints that perhaps one of the students at Destino might be more than she seems.
The illustrations were bright and colourful, but I have to admit the lack of hooves was a bit weird, and the fact that they could hold things and walk around bipedal, but then that certainly makes it easier for an equine form to actually do things. In other unicorn schools they have to use magic to do simple things like write. Oh...and while it didn't look weird at first, the fillies only where skirts and don't cover their chests, which I didn't think odd till the adult teachers were all covered up which made the younger Melowys look half naked...I guess kind of the opposite of Donald Duck who wears a shirt but no pants! They do have pretty dresses for when they dress up though.
