Dear listener, I hope you find this note before it gets lost in the waves. Before I get to send another letter and tell you about what happened to me. It all started when my family and I came to the quiet town of Argos, Washington, to start a new life. Again. However, the more I learned about this run-down seaside town, the more mysterious it became. Sea monsters in the bay, weird and extremely secretive townsfolk, and too handsome men.

When 15-year-old Agatha's mother falls gravely ill, she is shipped off to the coast of Maine to live with her aunt, Edith Philipa Gordan, an eccentric writer who hasn't finished a novel in decades and paints birds obsessively. What begins as a dull summer immediately takes a turn toward adventure with the arrival of Edie's old beau, Horatio Macleay, and his handsome nephew. With WWII looming on the horizon, Agatha and her new group of friends race against time and across continents to complete their mission before it is too late.

There are three rules to fighting a rebel. Rule one: Play their games. They might be rebels, but they prefer compliance. Hypocritical jerks. Rule two: Teach them they’re not in charge.

With the fate of the Royale future on the line, I must do what I know how to do best and rebel against those who think they can control me.

I wouldn’t change it, though. Because my guys have never been happier. Too bad the only way I see the five of us getting through this is to start a war against my family.

A war brews on the edge of our region with the rise of enemies from my past. Why a coven of unregistered vampires thinks they can claim me? I’m sure to find out. Maintaining order among the Royale Region as our enemies take out our allies proves more difficult than we imagined. But there is no way I’m handing myself over to some guys who think I’m the key to changing an entire territory. Unfortunately for me, the enemies of my past are far worse than disgruntled Blood Rebels. Their presence threatens to expose that the former head of the Royale Coven is dead.
