Eighteen-year-old Chloe Zacharias is perfectly content being an outsider. But an ancient prophecy has different plans. Petros is a well-oiled machine of an empire. Everyone’s life is mapped out perfectly, from the day of their birth until their much anticipated Coronation at age 75 when they’ll become ruler of their own personal paradise. But when it becomes clear to the powers that be that Chloe could uncover their secrets and dismantle their world, the rulers of the Underworld send cunning Hermes on a mission to destroy her before she can realize who - and what - she is.

After suffering a heart-aching breakup, Marissa retreats into herself, over-exercising and depriving herself of food. Still reeling from the void left after her father died, Elise fills the space with short-lived thrills and flings, each leaving her lonelier than before. The honeymoon phase ended long ago for Charlotte and her husband, who pays more attention to his phone and sports than to her. Poppy McAdams assigns each woman a particular species of orchid, one that reveals what they struggle against and how to fight back victoriously.
