Falling in love is hard to do when no one will even look at you, and those that do hurry to look away. Andrea is a seventeen year old girl who has always wished for a sense of belonging, but being only half native to her tribe sets her apart from everyone else. And the other townspeople of Wapatau seem to avoid her just as easily. But life is always easier with a good friend. Her best (and only) friend Kaida has always been her moral support, and Kaida’s older brother Konai has always been there to tear her back down. With only days left in school, and the Spring Equinox festival just around the corner, Andrea looks at her life like a glass half empty. Until a random series of events, and a dark and stormy night, change her life forever.

Nikki Star was an orphan, taken from foster home to foster home, when on her 15th birthday, she realized that she had the power to control fire. She's taken to a different school- for superheros- where she is trained to control her powers. Soon after she gets there, they need her help to stop an evil mastermind... and save the world.

The year was eleven hundred and four; it was just after the turn of the century. There were three teenagers. The first of them was Conner, or as his fellow trainees called him, Cutter, he was only fifteen years old, had short brown hair, and was the tallest of the three. Kevin, his best friend, gave him his nickname because of his strength, and his skill with a sword he could cut through just about any object, even another sword given the right circumstances. The second of them was Samantha or just Sam for short, she was also 15 years old, had long brunette hair and the most beautiful blue eyes that would change to yellow depending on her mood. She and Conner were no more than a month apart. What set her aside from all the other girls in the village was that she was brave and strong for her size, because of that she had very boyish qualities, but she also knew how to hide those and just be a girl. There was one more thing about Sam, she used magic. Last of the group was Kevin or as his fellow trainees sometimes called him; Blade. He was not sure how he picked up the name; he always thought it was because of how he was top in the sword fighting class. Although unlike Conner and Sam, his path, was not always so clear, he had no idea what he really wanted to be, he just knew what the king told him he had to do.
