Livia Moretti has not had a good night's sleep since the day her best friend - sorry, ex-best friend - died. Yes, It's insomnia. Whenever Livia closes her eyes, the scene flashes before her eyes.
She's just getting by, finding whatever distraction she can. Thankfully, ModernLifeTM in Britain is hectic enough to keep her busy. But lately, it really doesn't seem the case, when she flies to Japan for an exchange trip.
Takahashi Kyoko does not belong. Nothing new about that. She used to be like 'all the others' - dreaming of riding off into the sunset with a beautiful princess. Unfortunately, Japan does not welcome the new, so Kyoko can only ever dream, unwilling to get too involved with something that will only bring her pain. Her only tether to reality is her fighting, everything else in her life aims to pursue her nightly adventures.
Then came another, a girl, overseas from England.
Co-authored with my good friend Molly! (Warning- the first chap is really cringy!)
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?

Claire Olsen has had a crush on Zion Petrakis since the first time she laid eyes on him, but he never noticed, instead only having eyes on the school's it girl, Maddie Jennings. Knowing she couldn't compete with Maddie, Claire hid her feelings for Zion, satisfied with admiring him from afar. However, when a series of events led Claire closer to Zion, her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Zion, he was determined to show her that he's earned a spot in her life.
