Some people are born under a lucky star, while others have their misfortune telegraphed by the position of the planets. Casiopea Tun, named after a constellation, was born with the odds stacked against her.
Midnight, the prince of mischief. The liar. The plotter. The trickster. The boy who wants to play Sherlock Holmes and scare the girls with stories of ghostly hauntings and disappearances.
Poppy, the mirror. The reflection. The one who makes everything look beautiful and then shatters it with a flick of her wrist.
Wink, the dreamer. The believer. The girl who reads late at night under the covers and hides her secrets in a locked box.
There's a fine line between mischief and madness, and Midnight knows that Poppy dances on it.
Sometimes the most beautiful things are also the most dangerous.
Love is a dangerous game. It can build you up or tear you apart.
We are all flawed, but it's our flaws that make us who we are.
People are capable of darkness and light. It's our choices that define us.
Sometimes the truth hurts, but it's better than living in a lie.
