The Tale of the Two-Faced Hourglass
"Two sisters. Two timelines. One shared room, but never the same world."
At Ever After High, every student knows exactly who they are supposed to be. But for Aurora Dawn and Vespera Dusk, destiny isn't a straight line-it's a broken clock.
Born into The Tale of the Two-Faced Hourglass, the twin sisters are bound by a bittersweet cosmic curse. Aurora exists entirely in the daytime, navigating the overwhelming, chaotic pressure of the Royal and Rebel factions in her cozy, oversized cardigans. But the exact moment the sun sets, she falls into a magical sleep, and her sister, Vespera, wakes up to claim the midnight hours. Sneaking through the silent, dark corridors of the school in her stealth-chic combat boots, Vespera acts as Aurora's secret night guardian.
They have never met face-to-face. Their only connection is The Journal of the In-Between-a magic book where they pass messages in shifting gold and midnight ink-and a mysterious Split-Vision Bracelet made from a shard of their story's shattered Grand Clock.
When the school's pressure pushes Aurora into a severe panic attack, the strength of their sisterly bond does the impossible: it freezes time, dims the day to twilight and allows Vespera's starlight spirit to cross the timeline to comfort her. But bending time comes with a dangerous cost and the sisters must work across the boundaries of day and night to solve the mystery of the Grand Clock. Can they find a way to fix their shattered fairytale and finally stand together in the light, or will the divide between Royal and Rebel tear them apart forever?
