For most of her life, Isabeau and her five best friends were inseparable—amazingly enough, the six girls even shared a birthday. Then a rift caused their friendships to fracture, and Iz lost everyone except Reuel, the only one who didn’t abandon her. Until now. The night of their sixteenth birthday, Isabeau leaves Reuel sitting on her front porch and heads home—and in the morning, Reuel is missing. She’s gone for two days, and when she reappears, there’s something wrong with her. She’s sick. Really sick. And she doesn’t remember anything that happened while she was gone.

La vita di Linus è decisamente tranquilla, per non dire monotona: vive in una casetta solitaria in compagnia di una gatta schiva e dei suoi amati dischi in vinile.

'She' bizarrely learns that 'she' is actually a boy; an unlikely yet possible turn of events before 'her' birth left 'her' mother and doctors fumbling to assign 'her' either sex. They made the wrong choice in an almost flip-of-a-coin gamble, leaving 'her' caught in an unimaginable world of chaos and loneliness.

Only the truly desperate – and foolish – seek out the Knight, an ancient monster who twists wishes into curses.

With the unique abilities to communicate with animals and conjure weapons from nature, Eve has trained all her life to defeat him.

Ruti is Markless. In a society where worth is determined by the pattern on your palm and the magic it grants you, this also deems her worthless.

Dekala’s Mark is strong, a Mark fit for the future queen of Somanchi, but it’s also unstable. She knows the only solution is to be bonded with another, but that would mean relinquishing control over her throne and kingdom.
