Premier Holiday Decorator, Lillith Johnson, finds herself more than unhappily employed for the upscale neighborhood community of Keystone Summits. Hired for years to oversee the annual Christmas decor, she has faced harsh criticism and reproach from the community residents. Yet every year she returns filled with the joy and spirit of the holiday, thinking she will finally get her dues...only to walk away with a list of things she needs to do differently the next time. However, this year she just knows it will be different! In a twist of fate, Lillith learns of nobility relatives she never knew she had, uncovers a family scandal, and gets emersed into a whole new community of scrutinizing residents. Can she call on her past experience with tough critics to face these new ones? Yet, nothing prepares her for the attention she receives from the enigmatic Lord of Langshire...

There are orders for everything, a reason for the orders, and a place for everyone to obey the orders. Except Vesna- an orphan, befriended by an old lady (who no one else knows of or has ever seen)- never met the norm of the Utopian society she was born into. A strict, structured society held together by doctrines and laws set in place by an Order dedicated to a mysterious group of gods. As she searches for her place, consequential events begin to unfold, starting with a mysterious incident that ransacks the society's finest...and Vesna is the only suspect. Targeted by the society she spent her whole life trying to become a part of, Vesna finds herself questioning this seemingly misplaced loyalty. Is this the only place for her? With only the help of the enigmatic old lady, a defector of the elitist guard, a sacred handmaid, and ultimately herself, Vesna plans her next move...but, what is her next move in a place where there is no way out other than death...?
