Claire Walker has always had her life in perfect order, including her high-powered job at one of Manhattan's top corporate law firms. Yet the one thing she cannot seem to find is a perfect love to complete it, until fate pushes Matías de León into her path. Matías is a Spanish artist who is everything that Claire is not: free-spirited and creative, chaos to her order. She falls for him, hard—and he for her. A year later, however, Claire begins to question everything about their relationship. How can they possibly work long-term when they're so different? Might it be best to end it?

In elementary school, Chloe Hanako Quinn is assigned Oliver Jones as her pen pal partner. Before sending her letter, she also whispers a note into it…and he hears her. Little does she know it would be the beginning of a friendship that would bloom into something more. That is, until disaster strikes, and Oliver and his family disappear without a trace. Now over twenty years later, Chloe is a high school guidance counselor in New York City. But life in the Big Apple is not what she dreamed it would be as she faces a layoff, rising rent, a situationship, and loneliness.

Por esa razón, cuando el emisario de un país misterioso ofrece una fortuna por su mano, Elodie acepta viajar a la resplandeciente Aurea, donde queda cautivada por su belleza y por su prometido, el príncipe Henry. Sin embargo, extraños sucesos siembran la duda en su mente y, demasiado tarde descubre que la prosperidad de Aurea se paga con un alto precio: en cada cosecha, sacrifican una princesa a un dragón hambriento. Y ella es la siguiente.
