In the summer of 1918 a tragedy echoed across the world when the Russian Imperial Romanov family was murdered by communists leaving much of the country crying out in mourning. Yet, there was a myth that one daughter, the youngest daughter; the Grand Duchess Anastasia had escaped. Though many disbelieved, for some this would prove to be more than a rumor and it would change their lives forever. Annalisa Peterson, a senior in high school, is dying to get out and move as far away from her family as possible. Not that she has had a rough childhood, but she wants to get away from constantly being expected to be the perfect A student and consistently having to visit her great grandmother who doesn't seem to like her, and oh yeah, doesn't speak a word of English. One final class assignment could change everything that she's ever known, and could literally re-write history. To find out the truth about her family's history, it isn't long before she's digging through old papers, books, photographs, and even travelling to Russia; not to mention getting her heart tangled up with the enemy along the way. As Annalisa finds out more and more, she's quickly discovering that once the real truth is out, her entire life will be turned upside down, and life will become much more dangerous for her, and those around her. Secrets are revealed. Questions are answered. One thing is certain; Annalisa never thought that her senior year would end like this.

I’m Skylar, your not-so-typical badass. Why, you ask? Sure, I might have cruddy grades and destroy school property now and again, but how many rebels do you know that turn preppy just for the sake of a guy? And you thought I was just another delinquent. Skylar Robinson is a rebel. A delinquent. A bad apple - Whatever you may call it. She hangs with the druggies and proudly speaks her mind, no matter how ugly it may be. She spends her mornings at school making up Saturday detentions, and afternoon's sneaking fake IDs to some choice costumers. So she's not little miss innocent. But who is nowadays? There is one guy, however, who literally rocks her world, and she'll do anything to have him, even if it means trading leather jackets for cashmere sweaters and heavy metal music for Sephora cosmetics. Can a rebellious, don't-give-a-shit chick keep up with her perky attitude in time to snag the man of her dreams?

Two years ago, Allie's brother jumped. It was the end of his life-- no one could possibly survive the fall from the railing of the Newbury Bridge. Or so she thought. Now, when Justin begins to appear to her in dreams, her supposedly dead brother only has one message for her- "Just jump." Will common sense cause Allie to ignore these dreams? Or will she join her brother in taking the plunge?
