В альтернативном мире общество поделено на два класса: темнокожих Крестов и белых нулей. Сеффи и Каллум дружат с детства — и вскоре их дружба перерастает в нечто большее. Вот только они позволить не могут позволить себе проявлять эти чувства. Сеффи — дочь высокопоставленного чиновника из властвующего класса Крестов. Каллум — парень из низшего класса нулей, бывших рабов. В мире, полном предубеждений, недоверия и классовой борьбы, их связь запретна и рискованна. Особенно когда Каллума начинают подозревать в том, что он связан с Освободительным Ополчением, которое стремится свергнуть правящую верхушку.

Sephy is a Cross: dark-skinned and beautiful, she lives a life of privilege and power. But she's lonely, and burns with injustice at the world she sees around her. Callum is a nought: pale-skinned and poor, he's considered to be less than nothing - a blanker, there to serve Crosses - but he dreams of a better life. They've been friends since they were children, and they both know that's as far as it can ever go. Noughts and Crosses are fated to be bitter enemies - love is out of the question. Then - in spite of a world that is fiercely against them - these star-crossed lovers choose each other. But this is love story that will…

Callum is a naught, a second-class citizen in a society run by the ruling Crosses. Sephy is a Cross, and daughter of the man slated to become prime minister. In their world, white naughts and black Crosses simply don't mix -- and they certainly don't fall in love. But that's exactly what they've done. When they were younger, they played together. Now Callum and Sephy meet in secret and make excuses. But excuses no longer cut it when Sephy and her mother are nearly caught in a terrorist bombing planned by the Liberation Militia, with which Callum's family is linked.
