Twenty teens. Abducted. To play a game of man hunt.

The members of Team VAKAD of the Defensive Affairs Unit are completely opposite of each other, and it took them quite a while to finally get along. There's Aiden, the egotistical leader. Kristie, the beautiful airhead. Anthony, the know-it-all nerd. Dex, the intimidating bad boy. And Violet, the troublesome loner, who just so happens to not be so lonesome anymore. Now, after months of strenuous training, it's time for their toughest mission yet: high school. And it's a lot harder than they thought it would be. There, they meet friends and foes. They thought fighting villains was hard, but they're about to find out that high school kids are just as bad.

Faye Caldwell has never been the same ever since her sister, Terra, killed herself seven years ago. She's haunted by her sister's memory, taunted by nightmares that mock the day her sister plunged to the ground. The fear of falling and ending up like Terra consumes her. Even the slighest falls make Faye scream, the terror taking over her body. Faye doesn't know how much more she can take. What she doesn't know is that those fears and dreams will drive her to do something that will change the way she looks at her life forever. Kole Frost lives a normal life. He has friends that he can (somewhat) count on, and a brother who is always there for him. He doesn't think that being dragged to Xia, a club that allowed minors, would do anything to him. He doesn't want to go, but he goes anyway--just to get his friend off his back. And when his best friend, Terence, gets drunk, he doesn't think anything of it. It's normal. Normal. But little does he know that that trip to Xia is about to change his life forever. The two worlds collide when Faye and Kole meet at the legendary Gate. The Gate, said to be protecting them from a horrible beast on the other side of its borders. The Gate which separates the two genders from each other. The Gate, which no one has ever seen before. That is, until now. Faye and Kole will learn that their "normal" worlds are not so normal after all. They'll learn that Cesve has secrets, ones that have been kept for a long, long time. And they take it upon themselves to find out just what those secrets are. There is one thing that must always be remembered: The Gate keeps them apart.

Ever since Sadie was a child, she's wanted to be a dancer. It's too bad that almost everyone in her dance class at school can't dance, and it doesn't help that her enemy since preschool is in the class with her, and he can dance almost better than she can. To make things worse, her new English teacher just so happens to be Ethan Deveraux, someone who had tortured her all throughout their childhood until he left for college. Things seem to pick right back up from where they left off nearly six years before until both of them realize how much the other has changed. They're no longer children, and the two of them are about to find out what that really means.
