* ArcNumber: 12. Twelve vessels, Twelve days, Twelve lives.



* AnthologySeries: While Twelve distinctly connects it's stories through its framework of May, Origins is more in line with this. The main storyline is about May twelve years after her time as a guardian angel, and twelve of the planned chapters focus on each of the vessels. As of writing this, the series has covered the stories of Ivy, Heather, Thistle, Ebony, and Rose.
