" I do not fear death, but I sooner fear this girl grinning at me from the door, as if she knows some secret of mine that I myself do not know." -Atticus Dombrovsky
Atticus Harper Dombrovsky is a seventeen-year-old, exceptionally cold-hearted, intelligent, and precocious boy, who suffers from a heart ailment that has left him anticipating death.
Joan Coreen Rivers is a seventeen-year-old, eccentric, and mysterious girl, who demands adventure and spontaneousness even in the mundane.
Together they navigate a rocky and defective friendship as they try to overcome their misunderstandings of one another. Yet, despite their differences, it is that very same polarity that brings them together despite their dark and dismal pasts. As Atticus swings between his various emotions regarding Joan, so too does Joan swing mysteriousely from mood to mood, making Atticus wonder what she's hiding from him...
Just when Atticus accepts the mystery of it, however, something devastating rocks their friendship, leaving Atticus with no way to turn but to his estranged father living a state away, and Joan's estranged mother, living as an abstract artist in Seattle. With this adventure before him, and the unlikely ghost of a heart-condition holding him down, Atticus sets out to find answers to his and Joan's story; to the pieces of the puzzle that he's missing.

Why Me?!
Stormi Octavia Lane Johnson was just trying to survive high school, dodge drama, and maybe make it to cheer practice without catching an attitude. But between being a straight-A student, ROTC captain, and the girl everybody loves to hate, life was already doing the most. Then came De' Andre-mysterious, fine as hell, and way too interested in Stormi for no clear reason. As their slow-burn connection grows stronger, so does the pull she can't explain. Add in her best friend Vi acting weird, her parents whispering secrets like it's a business deal, and a strange new strength rising inside her... and suddenly, turning seventeen isn't just a milestone. It's a rebirth. But Stormi's world is about to crack wide open. Because being a queen doesn't just mean running things-it means uncovering the truth about her bloodline, her destiny, and the monsters she never knew were watching her all along. This ain't your average coming-of-age story. It's giving trauma, power, love, betrayal, and a whole lotta chaos. Because even queens have demons.
