Noughts & Crosses (Noughts and Crosses #1)
Narrated By: Syan Blake, Paul Chequer

Sephy is a Cross, a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a Nought, a ‘colourless’ member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses.

The two have been friends since early childhood.

But that’s as far as it can go. Until the first steps are taken towards more social equality and a limited number of Noughts are allowed into Crosses schools.

Against a background of prejudice and distrust, intensely highlighted by violent terrorist activity by Noughts unable to accept the injustices any longer, a romance builds between Sephy and Callum; a romance that is to lead both of them into terrible danger.

Knife Edge (Noughts and Crosses #2)
Narrated By: Nina Sosanya, John Hasler, Joan Walker

A frightened girl running barefoot on a knife edge, that’s how 18-year-old Sephy feels as she gazes down at her new-born daughter, Callie Rose.

Whilst Sephy is a Cross, the baby’s father, Callum, was a nought, giving Callie Rose dual heritage in a society where the ruling Crosses treat the pale-skinned noughts (blankers) as second-class citizens.

What kind of world will her daughter grow up into? One which is more equal? Or one where discrimination still has the power to destroy lives?

Sephy can only hope that the tomorrows will be better than the yesterdays.

But fifteen years later, Callie Rose’s actions are to plunge both of them into the heart of danger, forcing Sephy, once again, to take sides.

Checkmate (Noughts and Crosses #3)
Narrated By: Nina Sosanya, Joan Walker, John Hasler, Adjoa Andoh

Can the future ever erase the past? Rose has a Cross mother and a Nought father in a society where the pale-skinned noughts are treated as inferiors and those with dual heritage face a life-long battle against deep-rooted prejudices.

Sephy, her mother, has told Rose virtually nothing about her father, but as Rose grows into a young adult, she unexpectedly discovers the truth about her parentage and becomes determined to find out more and to honour both sides of her heritage.

But her father’s family has a complicated history – one tied up with the fight for equality for the nought population. And as Rose takes her first steps away from Sephy and into this world, she finds herself drawn inexorably into more and more danger.

Suddenly, it’s a game of very high stakes that can only have one winner.

Double Cross (Noughts and Crosses #4)
Narrated By: Nigel Pilkington, Nicole Davis, Joan Walker

CEveryone assumes the bomb that killed Callie Rose’s grandmother was the work of a nought terrorist but Callie Rose knows the truth – and her fear of the past leaves her afraid for her future.

Her boyfriend Tobey is worried about his own future. A nought boy at an exclusive school Tobey hopes to keep out of trouble, go to university, get a good job and leave the dangerous streets of his childhood behind.

But Tobey is discovering that he can’t keep clinging to some kind of no-man’s land while the neighbourhood around him is carved up by rival gangs. Then he is offered the chance to earn some ready money just making a few ‘deliveries’. He doesn’t want a part of that world, the world of gangs.

But maybe he could get away with it, just this once.

He little realizes how his decision will bring violence down on both himself and Callie and just how far he will go in fighting back….
