Set in a tense Cold War-inspired world divided between the rival nations of Westalis and Ostania, the series follows Twilight, Westalis’s top secret agent. Tasked with preventing an all-out war by investigating reclusive Ostanian politician Donovan Desmond, Twilight assumes the alias Loid Forger and is ordered to build a fake family from scratch to infiltrate Desmond’s son’s prestigious school, Eden Academy.
- Loid Forger: A master of disguise and espionage who adopts a young orphan girl to fulfill his cover story.
- Anya Forger: A six-year-old telepath created by secret experiments who can read minds. She immediately discovers her adoptive parents’ lethal secrets, though she keeps quiet because she finds their double lives thrilling.
- Yor Forger: A kind-hearted city hall clerk who agrees to a marriage of convenience to hide her true identity as the Thorn Princess, a deadly professional assassin.
Neither Loid nor Yor knows the other’s secret profession, leaving Anya as the sole member of the household aware of the full picture as they navigate school exams, domestic comedy, and high-stakes espionage.
