If the truth sets one free, why does Lily Jacobs feel so trapped? She's learned doing the right thing isn't always best and now she is living the consequences of her greatest sacrifice. Every day since Grayson Lee left is one she wishes he hadn't. Years have gone by since their friendship turned to more and then was eradicated by Lily alone; enough time for their young love to fade. Only it hasn't, not for Lily. Now he is back and seeing him is devastating to her at the same time it is rapture. She tries to accept that they cannot be together, but everything inside her shouts that they should...

Bianca has three loves: her job, her cat, and Bloody Marys. Not necessarily in that order. Life is good, the best, until Drew sabotages Bianca's black and white world and forces her to see the gray in it. Which is really annoying, as it disrupts her Bloody Mary drinking time. Drew Montgomery left his old life to start a new one, but still the past continues to haunt him. Bianca Fisher makes him forget, gives him hope, and confounds him, all at once, and from just one encounter. Drew tells himself to run, to run away and fast, but his feet won't listen. Neither does his heart.

You breathe in, you breathe out, and everything you know is gone. Sara Walker knows firsthand what it feels like to have your reality ripped away, scrambled, and shoved back at you in an undone puzzle where pieces are missing and nothing fits. She's lost so much and is struggling to live and to find the strength to forgive herself for being human. With the help of Lincoln, her husband's brother, Sara realizes it's not about finding who she used to be, but about accepting who she is now. You breathe in, you breathe out, and everything you know isn't gone, but reborn.

There are three kinds of people in the world: those who are alive, those who are undead, and those who can see the undead. Honor Rochester found out she's one of the three, and it's not the one she would prefer to be. She can accept her fate and live as is decided for her. Or not live at all.

Thrust into a reality that should be myth, Honor does what she has to do to survive. Some things are easy to say goodbye to. Others things, like her very being, are not so easy to let go of. And when she does, what then? What will she become? As Honor fights to remain unaltered when everything around her, including her, has been, she is met with adversaries and champions. Ryder, Christian, Nealon-they all have a goal. Only Honor doesn't know if their goals coincide with hers, or Superior August's and the UDK society. One thing she does know: the world isn't big enough for all of them.

Honor Rochester has one purpose: decimate the UDK society and every tainted imprint of its hand upon her life. Superior Maximus August stands between her and this insurmountable task-every time she moves forward, he pushes her back. But the monster can only push so far, can only manipulate and destroy so much, until another monster is created. She will win, but she has doubts that she will be redeemable afterward.
