In times of war, smaller strongholds do what they can to secure their own protection. Some higher soldiers, others fortify themselves, and many marry to consolidate power. The village of Caledon is no different. Threatened by the upcoming war between Laochra Riocht and Reino de Fuego, two of the most powerful kingdoms in the land, Caledon's chief readily accepts the prince of Laochra Riocht's proposal for his daughter Seraphina's hand in exchange for protection of their territory. Seraphina is thrown into a world full of politics, prejudice, policies, and mysteries that go deeper than the impending war with the stronghold from the West. Follow our protagonist as she discovers betrayals, exposes secrets, uncovers truths, and that could very well end the war before it even starts.

As Dakota Akihara crashes, Rhea Walton falters. While one is drug away from a life in the 1%, the other finds it increasingly-unbearable to put up with the crushingly-expected and dependable monotony of slow business, bills to pay, and mouths to feed. Rhea Walton knows herself well enough. Well, enough to understand that very few in her small, small town, particularly not her father, see who she is below her mask. Dakota Akihara - now Dakota Maxfield - on the other hand, feels as though presently, his entire identity is a question mark. Wether he's being over-dramatic or not, is not the point. His father's in jail for embezzlement and insider trading, his family is striped of everything, and his mother has forced him and his sister, Aya to leave their lives in the Upper East Side. Ironically, her search of refuge ends in a place with people she hoped never to interact with again-who don't, quite frankly-know anything about her life after she left. So of course, on a full moon, Dakota Maxfield faints in front of the Walton's diner window.

Laure Mynett is a budding literary sensation at the age of 25. She lives alone in her sprawling property, left to her by the people who she always called Mama and Papa. But there is another side to Laure that she has only recently embraced, no, acknowledged: she is indigenous. Laure has never understood who she is. A visit from her biological aunt and uncle confirms her worst fears: she is a mistake and a fake one at that, or so people say. To most people, she is the inscrutable, privileged, genius, living in her world of heartbreaking stories. But is her own reality any different?

[Spin off to Suicide, Skittles and Skates] Hannah Adem is one of The Elite at Premrose Private School, standing at the very top of the social ladder. But when her world - as she knows it - comes crashing down, she's forced to face reality. Behind the façade of indifference she paints on every day, Hannah is hiding a lot of insecurities that stem back to her background of which she knows next to nothing about. So when Rayne Parker, the quiet kid in her English class manages to see behind the towering walls she's constructed around herself, she's torn between two choices. Should she take the easy route and disregard him as a nobody, continuing living obliviously or will she allow him to help her face the fears of her past? But as she's about to learn, she's certainly not the only one with secrets and not everything is black or white. Sometimes you have to look at the shades in between to find out the truth. Sometimes you discover that life is entirely greyscale.
