Chapter One - Why Protect A Girl Like Lacey Stokes?

Christabel has been shielding Lacey Stokes - the Girl With No Heart - for as long as she can remember; and not out of her own free will, either. Why? It's a secret she's been hiding from the rest of the world and will keep hidden at all costs, though the audacious new girl and a boy who's ready to break anyone's heart seem determined on ruining Christabel's plans.
