Crown Prince Oliver Hawthorne has spent his entire life performing a role he never wanted. When he flees to London to escape an arranged marriage and pursue his dream of acting, the last thing he expects is to fall in love with a ghost. Lillian Channing has haunted The Jade Dragon Cinema since 1926, translucent and alone, forgotten by a world that moved on without her. For seventy years, she’s existed in the shadows—until Oliver walks into her theater and looks at her like she’s the most real thing he’s ever seen. What begins as acting lessons becomes something neither can deny.

Caleb Calloway never expected to feel whole again. The accident took his father and left scars across half his face. It stole the confidence he used to have, the easy smile, the boy who knew exactly who he was. Starting over at Wellington College in his final year feels impossible—until Avery King challenges him to a chess game. And everything changes.

Joseph Claus knows exactly what his future holds: inherit his father’s legacy, fulfill ancient obligations, become what everyone expects. It’s a future written in magic and tradition, one he never chose. So he does the unthinkable—he steps through a portal to California and disappears. Detective Melody Adams doesn’t believe in magic. She believes in facts, evidence, and keeping people at arm’s length. Her new tenant seems harmless enough. Quiet. Polite. Except objects float when he’s nervous. Snow materializes indoors.
