Cassandra Morphy

Hope's dad had been in the army for her entire life, dragging the family all over the country. While most army families can settle in a town for a few years at a time, Hope was more often leaving the town before she could learn its name, let alone make some friends. It made staying in the closet easier for her, avoiding any conflict that would come up if her father ever learned that she was gay.

All that changed when she came to Kulpon Park and met Eddi, the girl who changed her life. If only Eddi wasn't an alien. If only her father wasn't hunting aliens. When Hope chased off Eddi, it had been to save her. But it didn't hurt any less. Stuck with the thought of living in Kulpon Park without Eddi, life felt dull and meaningless to Hope. There was still her old friend, and old crush, Jean. When Jean was the stars, Eddi was the sun, and it made it impossible for Hope to see what was right in front of her.

Paige grew up in the undercity, the remnants of the old city of London, in the shadow of New London, high overhead. The sound of zombies at the gates were a constant reminder of how close her death could be. Like most morlocks in the undercity, Paige was an NI, non-immune to the zombie virus that had taken over the world. The immune live in the upper city, focusing on spreading their immunity into the next generation of humans. But Paige had something thing that the other morlocks didn't: a ticket up the elevator and a job waiting for her when she got there.

Mistress Gilbert, Paige's new boss, didn't have much patience for morlocks. They were beneath her, both literally and figurative. Beneath society and the rules that had governed it since the fall of the world. As long as the morlocks remember their place, sticking to their lower standing as NIs of the uppercity, she would let them be. However, the moment that they step out of line, she would be the first to call for them to return to the undercity where they belong.

Everything in Cary Simms's life kept changing. First, she became a sorcerer. Then, she realized that she was trans. Now, her life changed all over again when The Cloaked Figure, the woman who started it all, pulled her away from the magical realm, to somewhere that she had never been before. The Fairy Realm. Surrounded by strangers, people that she should have known her whole life but hadn't, she is suddenly tasked with something that had eluded her her whole life: finding out just where she belongs.

As always, rumors surrounded Cary when she returned to her sorcerer school in the magical realm. The stories about her time in the fairy realm ranged from fighting off hoards of fairies to her being replaced by a shapeshifter. This time, the truth was far stranger than any of the rumors floating around. However, Cary had bigger issues running into her eighth grade year.

Instead of being assigned to Sight House, like Cary always expected, she is surprised to find herself placed in Combat House. With how close she kept to her faith, she never considered fighting an option. It was always better to escape. Suddenly, she no longer had a choice in the matter. It was fight or fail.
