Welcome to the origins of heartache and heroes.

Step back into the world of Missing Girls & Lost Boys and discover the stories that came before. These prequel novellas delve into the early years of some of your favourite characters, uncovering the heartbreak, mischief and darker histories that shaped them into the lovable rogues you know today.

Follow three men and a baby as they navigate the trials of fatherhood, all while fleeing a government determined to hunt them down after they abscond with the Eve Project.

Watch our favourite renegades become men as they throw themselves headfirst into the Mutiny War.

And join Robbie and Alex in their reckless, libertine days in Eden, long before Everlee turns their world upside down.

They don't become dark and brooding, because they grew up on happily ever afters.

Reading order: This collection is best enjoyed after Road to Eden and before Endgame.
