On the night of November 6th, 1983... everything changed. When a kid in Hawkins Lab tore open a doorway to another world. When a boy was dragged into the dark by a monster. When two test subjects made their desperate escape. When a lost girl finally learned the truth about where she came from. Everything changed. And as kids, teens, parents, and police chiefs are thrown into a storm of terror, trauma, and love, they'll have to: Fight like a mother. Love like it's their last day. Believe like a little kid.

Secrets // Steve Harrington [1]
Thalia Munson was adopted when she was ten years old.

She couldn't remember her name, a face or a place, but she knew one word. One that she had repeated for weeks. Two. A number. Fitting in is easy. It's being yourself while trying to fit in that is hard. Thalia has never attempted to be a popular girl nor to fall for the popular guys, but when her best friend, Nancy Wheeler, starts dating the King of Hawkins High, things are bound to, and will, change. Evil is rising in Hawkins and Thalia is unknowingly one of the largest parts of it. Not knowing anything about who you are used to be is safe. Because if you don't know, then how can anyone else?
