When Ptolemy Prescott is kidnapped by a dark organization, he can only think of one person who might notice his absence: Romilly Quester, a girl he never officially called his girlfriend. Romilly always thought of herself as just Ptolemy's friend with benefits-until she stumbles upon a chilling letter from his captors, addressed specifically to her. The ransom is impossible: $50,000, money Romilly doesn't have. With no one to turn to and time running out, Romilly hatches a desperate plan.

To distract the organization and buy herself time, Romilly launches an unconventional political campaign: "Protesting Ptolemy," aimed at fighting the teaching of Geocentrism in recluse Christian Academies. The title is a twisted nod to Claudius Ptolemy, the ancient astronomer credited with the theory of Geocentrism, but Romilly's real focus is saving her Ptolemy before it's too late.

However, the deeper she dives into her plan, the more dangerous her world becomes. When someone she trusts double-crosses her, Romilly finds herself ensnared in a deadly game where no one is who they seem. With every moment slipping away, Romilly must outwit the organization-and her own allies-if she hopes to rescue Ptolemy alive.

The Society

16 parts Ongoing

During the times when kings and Queens still ruled, where holding hands was considered a scandal, Idris Frasier struggles to survive when her life is sucked into a group that calls themselves, The Society. She tries her best not to let their schemes, secrets and ways consume her. However when she finds someone who gives her hope and makes her smile, can she take the chance despite the conspiracies to attain her happiness. The thing about society is they're not to be trusted because everything is a game. ______________ My father once told me a story... "Imagine being mixed with the crowd. Everywhere you turn you see faces. What's worse? They're looking at you with hate, disgust, disappointment. They spit venomous words that slice through you sharper than a knife. They hate you just for existing, for simply breathing the same air as them. It leaves you feeling suffocated but the more you run, trying to find a way out, the faces multiply. You're searching-looking for someone who can look past everything, pick you up and smile at you. You fall on your knees taking the hits. They keep pushing your limits until your back breaks and you're face flat on the ground. That's how it feels, Idris. That's what we've come to know in this cruel world. This-This place we call Society. It isn't a fairytale of happy children playing and people getting along. No. It's far more evil than that. One day you'll understand, if only it doesn't consume us."
