Elli takes photos. It's just what Elli does. Seeing the world in black and white is her specialty. She's quiet, in her own world, afraid of getting hurt. Instead of using words? Photos. They express the things that Elli thinks, but never says. And rarely does another human see these pictures of her life. Except now, things are changing- for better or worse, Elli can't tell, but if there's one thing Elli knows it's that Carter, the new guy on the block, wants to understand Elli's world. Can Elli let Carter in, or will she keep him out? And can Carter, maybe, just maybe, add a bit of colour to the world?

The world thinks that Ren has gone crazy. Even Ren thinks Ren has gone crazy, because most people don't converse with things that's aren't really there. And what does the world do with crazy people? It locks them up. Prison can get lonely. Except Ren isn't really alone... She has an astral, a part of herself that lives in a place that humans can't comprehend. Very few humans find their astrals, and even fewer can talk to them. Which makes Ren and her astral, Silas, very, very special. Because Silas gives Ren power. Not just energy. Crazy, superhuman powers that no one should have. The Government wants Ren to be their secret weapon. The science labs, ETSE, wants to experiment on her. And everyone else is just plain scared of her. So Ren is on the run from imprisonment, trying to find herself--and--Silas, along the way. And if there is anything that rings true with Ren, it's that you're never alone. Which means there are more Astrals out there. Waiting.
