Ellis never meant to find the end of the rainbow. Two years ago, Ellis Carr lost everything when a violent storm took his parents-two fearless storm chasers who vanished into the sky and were never found. Since then, storms have terrified him. Now living on his grandfather's quiet farm, Ellis tries to keep his world small and safe. But one night, the sky does something impossible. A glowing ring of lightning forms above the fields, spilling colors across the clouds like a living rainbow. When Ellis follows the strange pull of a red handkerchief his mother once gave him, he discovers a hidden door at the very end of the rainbow. Beyond it lies a magical realm filled with fairies, strange creatures, and a growing darkness known only as The Shadow. If Ellis wants to save this world-and perhaps uncover the truth about what really happened to his parents-he will have to face the very storms he fears most. Some doors change everything. And some storms were never meant to be chased.

Dahlia, meanwhile, lives boldly on the sunny California coast.

When she attends a party with her best friends over Thanksgiving break, she never expects to come face-to-face with a girl who looks exactly like her-except with darker hair. One moment. One meeting. One shared flower-shaped birthmark. And everything changes. Shocked and curious, the girls dig into their pasts and uncover a truth that shakes them to the core: they are identical twins, separated at birth and adopted into completely different worlds. United by fate, they begin a journey to uncover the mystery of their birth family-why they were separated, what really happened, and who their parents were. As they untangle the threads of their past, Marigold and Dahlia forge a bond neither time nor distance could break. Along the way, they find not only each other but also their courage, their voices-and a love neither of them expected. [DISCONTINUED]
