Calla has no memory of her childhood except for some hazy, recurring nightmares. But she doesn't really mind. As a servant in Kiriong, the picturesque terrace-garden home to the Hennans, one of the most influential families in the radiant Kamphua Dominion, she's content to live a simple life, untouched by the troubles of the world. As long as no one finds out about the forbidden magic stirring under her skin. When the estranged first-born son of the family, Gray - a magic-user himself in servitude of the Queen - returns home while tracking a runaway mage, the secret Calla has kept to herself for so long threatens to break to the surface. And as the turbulent tides of long-forgotten magic draw the two of them together, she finds it harder and harder to deny the power inside her. But Gray knows more than what he admits. And although in the aftermath of a vile political plot targeting him, finding out what happened to Calla in those forgotten years might be their only chance to survive, that knowledge could break them both. It could break the entire world.

All small towns have their quirks. The town of Nowhere, for example, has an overabundance of ghosts. Wyatt Best has lost his money, his father, and his last sweater vest. He is only sad about losing one of those things. When he's sent to live with his estranged uncle in Nowhere, Wyatt is immediately fascinated by its magic. He then meets the Penny family. The three Penny sisters, who were each born on the same day exactly a year apart, have the ability to commune with the ghosts in Nowhere and act as a bridge between the land of the living and that of the dead. Just as Wyatt begins to adjust to his new life in this strange town, a forest appears. And the ghosts it has trapped inside have secrets to tell.

Those who expose themselves to the Fog for over an hour begin to change. Most devolve into mindless, bloodthirsty creatures known as Fog Crawlers. Some remain human. The others, the mostly-extinct Morphs, develop supernatural abilities and a scent that draws Crawlers from miles away. Arden lives in one of the last standing high schools in North America. She is one of the lucky ones who didn't change. Or so she thought. Arden finds herself possessing abilities she never thought possible. She'd find it exciting, if not for the meaning behind it: the meaning that she is a Morph, and her new scent, undetectable by humans, will draw Fog Crawlers to her from miles away. Government officers relocate her to a secret institution where she can privately develop her Morph abilities. But this institution is hiding secrets. Now Arden, along with her new friends and a mysterious boy at the institute, must find a way to escape. But time is ticking, and the institute won't let them go without a fight. Now, with her heart torn, a war brewing between the government and her friends, and a bloodthirsty world of Crawlers standing in the way of Arden's freedom, she doesn't know who to trust-if anyone at all.

Two different shades of detective. Dianthea is a cop who can't hack it, and Malyssa is a detective who couldn't hack it as a cop. Drinking whiskey in her office the day after Halloween, Detective "Fog" Malyssa Alafoggiannis finds the body of a senator on her floor - with the bullet wounds magically repaired. It's a pattern of magic use Detective Fog has seen before - and as she expects, by the time the real police arrive a minute later, the body straight up disappears.
