Welcome to Misery Bay, a quiet place, if you don't count the horrific monsters, the strange disappearances, or the odd barbed wire fence surrounding the town's lighthouse. Seventeen-year-old Austen Gillet can't wait to graduate and get out of her small town. But when she finds her dad's car abandoned on the side of the road with a dead woman inside, her world screeches to a halt. When Ezra, an enigmatic newcomer, arrives in town, Austen enlists his help to find her dad. Little does she know that Ezra has secrets of his own, and he's not about to let anyone get in his way. However, Ezra's secrets pale in comparison to those hiding deep in Misery Bay's woods, in a place protected by Ian, the mysterious lighthouse keeper. After stumbling through a portal to another world and barely escaping with her life, Austen has to figure out who she can trust and who she can't, before she disappears, too. Permanently.

Seventeen-year-old Mira works on a farm in the ruins of Texas, along with all of the other descendants of the defeated rebels. Though she's given her heart to Tanner, their lives are not their own. When Socrates, a powerful First, chooses Mira as his Second, she is thrust into the bewildering world of the rich and influential.

With time running out, Mira must decide whether to run to the boy she left behind, to the boy who wants her to live, or to the man who wants her dead.

Mira was supposed to die so that Socrates, a powerful First, could continue his immortality. But against all odds, she survived. More than that, she took Socrates's identity. Now, she must face the government, the rebels, and the young man she loves in the fight to forge a better future for her people. Will was supposed to save her, but he watched her die instead. He doesn't know Mira's alive, or that she carries the identity of Socrates, the man he's sworn to protect with his life. Too bad some secrets refuse to stay hidden.
