About the stories

Noughts & Crosses introduces Sephy, a Cross living with privilege yet haunted by injustice, and Callum, a Nought treated as less than human but longing for equality. Their forbidden friendship and love set the scene for a powerful saga that questions society’s divisions.

Knife Edge continues the emotional intensity as alliances shift and the consequences of prejudice become more dangerous. Checkmate moves the timeline forward: sixteen years after Sephy and Callum first meet, their daughter Callie Rose faces the lingering legacy of hate — and hope — in a world that still needs to change.

Double Cross and Crossfire expand the universe with new characters and moral dilemmas. Tobey, for example, wants a safer life for his family but faces hard choices when temptation and violence encroach. Crossfire captures readers with pacey, emotionally rich scenes — praised for putting minority voices at the centre of big societal questions.

Endgame brings political stakes to the forefront: the first Nought Prime Minister, Toney Durbridge, stands accused of murder and every witness has secrets. Blackman weaves suspense and social commentary into a finale that’s as thrilling as it is thoughtful.
