After Mr and Mrs Hart finally get to see their daughter Ophelia again, they make the decision to get Ophelia help in the form of counselling. Much to Benedicts's horror and Elijah's disinterest. After a large amount of trial and error and a few dozen traumatized Psychologists, the Hart family manage to find the perfect psychologist to take the job.
Charlotte Stone is a gentle, kind natured and calm human, who seems relatively unamused by Ophelia's attempts to 'program' her. She quickly befriends the youngest Hart and earns her trust, forcing Elijah and Benedict to recognise her brilliance.
But can this fragile woman allow Ophelia Hart the chance of normal life or will her past finally take all that's left of her one final time?

Brianna Acero and the Second One's Return
One hundred years ago, war threatened the existence of humanity. One man's actions might bring it back. During WWV, battles weren't won with bombs, but with science. Specifically, with DNA. Now, a person's place in society is determined by their genetic code.

Seventeen-year-old Brianna Acero doesn't fall into either category. She is the only girl in the world who has no Gift at all. When life throws her a curveball and Brianna finds herself living among the Elites, she begins to uncover layers upon layers of secrets about her own past, but there is one secret that was not meant to be unlocked. Now, there is no way of putting it back in its cage. The Second One is back, and this time he won't be so forgiving. His actions could bring about a new world war, and the end of Gifted society along with it. Only Brianna is unique enough to stop him, but will she rise to the challenge?

And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
