Most twenty-somethings travel to Berlin in search of the weird, wild, and wunderbar. For Brooke Neville, it’s the perfect place to stage a fantasy; one where she’s just another college student backpacking through hostels on a shoe-string budget. No billionaire family. No pro-tennis career. No gut-wrenching tragedy. But remaining anonymous and aloof becomes increasingly difficult upon meeting Patrick, a charismatic Aussie traveler. With his easy grace and killer smile, Brooke isn’t the only woman distracted by his charms.

The world is different now. There are no rules, no governments, and no guarantees that you'll be saved. Rival factions have taken over, fighting each other for survival with no loyalty to anyone but their own. At 21, Hayden has taken over Blackwing and is one of the youngest leaders in the area. In protecting his camp from starvation, raids from other factions and the threat of being kidnapped, he has enough to worry about before he finds Grace. The daughter of the head of the rival camp Greystone, she is slow to trust anyone, much less the leader of those she has been trained to kill.

Macy Moreno meant to spend a few months backpacking around Europe. Instead, she’s ended up in an ancient castle belonging to international soccer sensation Nicolo Buonaccorsi. Macy thought it might be fun to meet a celebrity—especially one as hot as Nicolo, but things at Nic’s house are a bit… strange.

Ashley is a Christian who hesitates to enter the art world and save herself for marriage. She starts college and reconnects with her former flame Nicholas while interning at a photography studio. Ashley develops a crush on Gary but faces drama from her boss and peers.

I'm the girl who wants to be strong in a world where everyone thinks I'm weak. A lot of questions ran through my head as I desperately clung to the roof of a magic train crossing over a gaping canyon. Like: How did I get here? What could I have done to avoid this fate? And, did I remember to shave my underarms before coming on this quest? But the biggest, most pressing question pulsing through my brain as my fingers started to slip and my enemy bore down on me was this: Could I really trust the person whose life I’d ruined to keep me from falling?
