Heather Woods wasn't looking for trouble - or attention. She just wanted to survive high school with her sketchbook, her friends, and her sanity intact. But then there's Janine Carter - the school's golden girl. Popular, confident, and absolutely unbearable. They've hated each other for as long as anyone can remember. Until a series of anonymous sticky notes start appearing between them - notes that blur the line between rivalry and something much deeper. Now, Heather's fighting feelings she doesn't understand, and Janine's hiding a truth she's terrified to face. Between secrets, rumors, and pressure from everyone around them, the last thing either of them expected... was each other. Because love wasn't part of the plan. It never is.

Like many low elves in the kingdom of Edresh, Morana was orphaned as a child during the war against neighboring Araphel. But Morana is more fortunate than most, and is taken to live in the palace as a companion to a captive princess, Astreia. She and Astreia become like sisters, and Morana nurses a tension-filled friendship with the sometimes cruel, but always charming High Elf Prince Tievel. But even with the war over, all is not well in Edresh. A curse spreads through the land, raising ghouls and monsters and stealing the lives of the unborn. Yet it is ignored by the High Elf nobility, whose immortality renders such concerns beneath them. Then, the king-Tievel's grandfather-is killed by a magical Araphelian assassin known as a Reaper. When Morana encounters the Reaper as he's making his escape, he reveals a truth that Morana had long-denied: she is one of the last Deathsingers, a wielder of the very same forbidden magic that inspired the king's savage assault on Araphel. Furthermore, her ability to Sing away immortality might just be the key to stopping the horrors slowly consuming their world... But only if she is willing to condemn those like her dear Tievel, who have only ever known eternal life, to the cold permanence of death. To right the wrongs of long ago and prevent the world's unraveling, Morana must dive head first into the sort of danger she's always avoided and venture into Araphel with her friends. But the Reaper is always close behind, a constant reminder of both what Morana is and the impossible sacrifice she might be called upon to make...
