Across golden hour and blue hour, a dancer and a photographer fall in love through the lens - only to discover that every act of seeing is also an act of losing.

Kiara Sundawn, princess of Golden Dawn, has grown up under constant expectations. Unbeknownst to her, one is an arranged marriage decided in infancy. On her eighteenth birthday, she learns the truth: She has been betrothed from birth to Leona Kingscholar, the second prince of Sunset Savana. Leona, however, remains completely unaware of the arrangement. Despite Falena's attempts to inform him, Leona ignores every call and message from his older brother. Kiara's reaction to the arrangement is immediate and fierce. She has been suffocated by the royal court all her life, and she refuses to let her marriage be yet another decision forced upon her. So she makes a plan: Go to Leona. Break the betrothal. Falena, under the impression that Kiara simply wishes to meet Leona, approves her visit. He arranges for her to stay at Night Raven College for a full month. Headmage Crowley, eager for prestige and appearances, insists she stay in the Savanaclaw dorm. Kiara's first impression of Leona is awful. He's lazy, dismissive, and seems to care about nothing. Wasting no time, she tells him she wants to break their betrothal. Leona only replies that they'll discuss it after the Spelldrive tournament. During her stay, Kiara begins noticing the cracks beneath Leona's attitude: his intelligence, his hidden effort, and the bitterness of a lifetime spent in his brother's shadow. Everything she thought about him starts to unravel. Kiara sees the depth of his pain and the weight he's carried alone. Instead of walking away as she planned, she finds herself wanting to understand him. And slowly, their relationship begins to shift, no longer bound by obligation, but by something real neither of them expected. What began as a mission to break their engagement soon becomes something far more complicated...

It's that time again, the time when innocent children between the ages of 12 and 18 are sent to be murdered in endlessly cruel ways. This year is especially frightening. It's the 100th anniversary of the Games, and a very, very, very special Quell is in order! The second rebellion was quashed nearly as quickly as it started, as Panem mourned the death of two tragic lovers. Now, 25 years later, the fourth Quarter Quell is underway, and it's a horror the districts have never seen before.

The woman responsible is Martina Donatello....a feared crime queen whose empire is built on violence, secrets, and absolute obedience. But instead of eliminating the only witness, Donatello brings Linnet into her world. Captivity becomes protection. Fear becomes trust. And the ruthless woman Linnet was taught to fear becomes the only person keeping her alive. But Donatello is hiding a secret that could destroy them both. She isn't the woman the cartel thinks she is. As enemies close in and her carefully constructed life begins to collapse, Donatello must choose between the mission she's sacrificed everything for.....or the young woman she was never supposed to love.
