The teenage children of the characters from The Vespertine and The Springsweet meet serendipitously in 1917 Los Angeles. Bohemian Kate is a budding filmmaker and Julian is disabled by polio; they also both possess supernatural gifts inherited from their parents. Overall this is a lackluster addition to the saga, though fans of the companion volumes may appreciate getting to know the next generation.
