Calliope is your standard girl. Loves make-up, style, books, and more. But what happens when she is visited by a strange entity in a dream, and they give her a list of things she must follow? And what happens when this analytical and shy girl meets someone quite odd? Someone who was raised thinking humans were all the same and tried to pride themselves in being different.
Calliope and the mysterious Seraphina, go on a mental, physical, and emotional journey to find who they are, what the other is, and what exactly love can do.
In this tale you will come to realize that people are more than the boxes they put themselves into. More than a name, a label, a grade, or a person. You might think you know this, and maybe you do, but if a tale of a girl learning to be herself, what that exactly means, and whether people can really change spikes your interest, I would give these words a chance to say something.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
