Nya Smith hates the spotlight more than she hates her brother's overbearing attitude. Being the most popular guy's sister, she has reached maximum status amongst Ninjago High's student body. No matter how hard she tries to, she cannot get rid of that title, so she just gets by without paying much attention to anything around her. Until the quiet kid catches her eye... - - - - Book 1 in the interconnected "Be My Heart" series.

Takes place after Rebooted. Due to a misunderstanding, Jay believes that Nya has chosen Cole and leaves the team. While the others are unsuccessfully trying to find him, a heartbroken Nya finds out she's pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's child (which kinda explains her messed-up emotions, irrational behaviour, and sudden dislike for pudding in season 3 😉). Six years later, Jay has left his Ninja life behind and is (more or less) happily working as a primary school teacher - which is where he meets an interesting little girl with lightning powers.

Nya's wicked stepmother tries to kill her, but Nya ends up getting away and stays at a house... with seven ninja.

When Jay finds a letter that was written by his birth mom to him, telling him she hid something for him to find, he sets off on a mission to find what she hid for him. Will he find what his mother hid for him and finally get answers for why she abandoned him, or will it just lead to more questions?

Master Chen is on the loose, and the two teams of ninja have formed a tentative alliance in order to hunt him down. With the help of the other Elemental Masters, they just might stand a chance. However, as the stakes grow higher and lines between the ninja are blurred, the question remains of who will be left standing at the end of it all?

Now it's up to Nya and the rest of Garmadon's ninja team to retrieve the weapons first and stop her brother and his friends before it's too late.
