3	The main series currently has four volumes, each with it's own rough StoryArc:
4
5	'''Volume 1: Welcome to Freeland House''' deals with introducing the main characters and how they [[CharacterDevelopment go from refugees to heroes]] and their relationships with the supporting cast. Along the way, the primary villains, [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Vincent Liedecker]], [[TheChessmaster Brother Wright]], [[EvilSorcerer Morganna]] and [[BigBad Simon Talbot]] are introduced and revelations are made about the nature of the setting's [[StockSuperpowersIndex psionic powers]].
6
7	Volume 1 is thus far the only volume to end with a definite SeasonFinale, with the others usually ending with a BreatherEpisode.
8
9	'''Volume 2: Magic and Machines''' follows up on the aftermath of Volume 1 and works to expand more on the world and culture of the setting. It also introduces new enemies such as enemies from [[AnotherDimension Faerie]], and the ChurchMilitant group, The Sineaters. The Volume ends with [[TheMagicComesBack magic returning to the world]]
10
11	'''Volume 3: The Bright, Bright Summer''' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, including a BeachEpisode. It also follows the main characters as they deal with new magical threats while protecting and recruiting kids for a new SuperHeroSchool. The volume winds down with the foundation of the school, the students of which are [[SpinOffBabies the subject of a separate set of stories]]
12
13	'''Volume 4: Confluence''' is a ContinuityCavalcade, bringing back and in most cases upgrading old villains, revisiting previous plot points, and firing off some of the series's many [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Guns]]. Many long running plots were resolved of given new life in this volume.
14
15	'''Volume 5: How the World Changes''' continues what Volume 4 started, revealing even more of the setting's mysteries while loading a whole new set of [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Guns]]. The threat that descendants might not remain as well treated in the US as they've enjoyed appears, and Project Tome scores a massive win.
16
17	Half of Volume 5 sees the group split up between Mayfield and a beach house at Dawson Bay, switching from one to the other for stories. WordOfGod says that it will end with the full return of Morganna.
