What it is

Identical twin sisters separated at birth, Ayira, born a Sun princess in a distant desert kingdom, and Danielle, raised in modern day Atlanta, were never meant to meet.

When an accident forces them to switch places, Ayira wakes up on a train bound for Drew Collins University, a hidden magical HBCU beneath the city where she meets Maggie Grey, a vampire who is said to be as powerful as the Moon.

When the two suddenly vanish without a trace. Tension begins to rise, suspicion is misplaced, and family secrets are revealed. The disappearance of the Sun and Moon sets off a chain of events that may lead to the fall of power and rise of chaos.
