Dolores O'Brien and George William Sinclair are siblings bound by an unbreakable curse of immortality, yet separated by a chasm wider than the centuries they've endured. Dolores, a fierce voice for the downtrodden, embodies the spirit of revolution, while George, a ruthless Duke and warmongerer, upholds the rigid order of the upper class. Their past is stained with unspeakable betrayals that fuel a present of seething hatred and constant conflict. As the Cornish woman fights for justice in the grimy underbelly of society, George navigates the treacherous halls of power, their paths colliding in a city rife with social disparity and simmering rebellion. Consumed by rage and resentment, she finds herself locked in a bitter struggle not only with her brother, George, but also her past traumas which have numbed her emotionally and morally overtime. Dolores must confront the demons of her past and the treachery of her kin as she fights to forge a new destiny, one where honor and courage prevail.

Nox is a 16 year old girl trapped in an organization built to raise "perfect people" with intentions of selling the best of them off to work for the rich. Being one of these chosen people is a highly esteemed achievement, and in order to produce individuals who are above the rest, the organization is filled with strict rules. Break them, and you'll be sent to the Outside, a barren wasteland where all who've been exiled there have allegedly died of hunger, thirst, or were killed by rogue "Outsiders". When a new rule pushes her limits too far, Nox is forced to make a choice: lose the person she cares about most, or be exiled to the Outside to fend for herself.
