Summary
A year after the defeat of Hawkmoth, Marinette is out of school, Guardian of the Miraculous, and unable to move on.
When the Order challenges her titles, Marinette won’t give up without a fight. She arrives at the Order, determined to stay a Guardian and help the Order reclaim their place in the world—all while carrying the weight of her new power and responsibilities. Fortunately, Marinette has luck on her side.
Damian Wayne is lost.
He is nineteen, out of school, and feels out of place in his life. With no clear path forward, Damian follows his mother back to the League of Assassins to bury his past once and for all. Of course, nothing ever goes to plan.
Upon learning that an ancient, magical organization has returned and is demanding his presence as the Demon Head, Damian makes the decision to accept his place in the League—making an enemy of his mother.
Convinced they can reform their factions with each other’s help, Marinette and Damian must get through new enemies, old oaths, and their own building feelings—all while avoiding their fast-approaching deadline to be Soul Bound.
Alone, it would be too much for anyone to handle. Together, they’ll face it all.

Summary
There is a lot of speculation about why soulmates are bonded through their pain. Some suggest it is about bonding with their future significant others, that you can truly empathize with people when you have gone through their worst moments with them, unknowingly or not. Others believe it is about balance – that the universe was balancing out the good that came with having someone you are guaranteed to love and have love you back by doubling the pain and anguish you would experience throughout your life. And still more people think it is to help people find their soulmates, for people are more likely to talk about the injuries they have gotten than about their happiest moments.
Marinette and Tim don’t care about why it is happening, they just want it to stop.
