Dans la ville d’Alante, hommes et descendants des dieux grecs cohabitent dans un climat plutôt tendu. Io Ora est une descendante des déesses du Destin. Celles-ci naissent toujours par trois : la première-née tisse les liens entre les personnes, la seconde les dessine, et la dernière les coupe. Et les sœurs Ora ne font pas exception. En tant que cadette, Io a le pouvoir de voir les liens qui unissent les personnes et de les couper, une tâche lourde pour la jeune fille de 19 ans.

Descendants of the Fates are always born in threes: one to weave, one to draw, and one to cut the threads that connect people to the things they love and to life itself. The Ora sisters are no exception. Io, the youngest, uses her Fate-born abilities as a private investigator in the half-sunken city of Alante. But her latest job leads her to a horrific discovery: somebody is abducting women, maiming their life-threads, and setting the resulting wraiths loose in the city to kill.

It’s been five weeks since Io left Alante to follow the golden thread, and she’s no closer to finding the god on the other end. She spends her days in constant, grueling travel and her nights worrying over the fate-thread she shares with Edei—which seems to be fraying. Making matters worse, she and Bianca soon realize that their only lead has shaken them off, snapped the golden thread, and disappeared. But not before Io gathers some crucial clues.

From first breakups and romantic vampire encounters to last band performances and the deadly end of a friendship, Firsts and Lasts is an anthology that is just as unpredictable as being a teenager. While each of these stories span different genres and styles, they all perfectly capture the big emotions—confusion, joy, uneasiness, and anticipation—that many teens experience as they grow up.
