Tsumiko is named heiress to an ancestral estate and its accompanying fortune. Only the legacy comes with an aloof heirloom: an inhuman butler. Argent has served the family for centuries, and she must renew a generational bond or he'll die. He hates her for the hold she has over him, but he craves her soul almost as much as he craves his freedom.

Kimiko enrolls at a high school that promotes Amaranthine integration. As a reaver, she's supposed to bridge cultural gaps, but the other two members of her triad don't need help. Akira and Suuzu have been friends for years. Instead, the boys must rally behind Kimiko when she inadvertently initiates a courtship with Eloquence Starmark.

To Ambrose P. Merriman, a stage actor who's gained acclaim on three continents, reaver escorts are more trouble than they're worth. Easy-come, easy-go, he hardly bothers to learn their names anymore. But the director and producer of their theater troupe, who are already dancing on the fringes of acceptability, won't risk losing their independence by neglecting this duty to the In-between. Reaver Greta Demerara comes with suspiciously excellent references, but by the time the Evernhold brothers realize she's carrying considerably more baggage than anyone bothered to mention, the train's already left the station. What's more, it's quickly apparent that Greta's no easier to deal with than their star. It's either a game of cat and canary or a courtship. And Ambrose would give almost anything for a look at the script.
