Articos Crisol, um adolescente de 16 anos, é o tipo de cara que chama atenção, mas não pela aparência. Seu cabelo e olhos pretos, que às vezes cobrem seu rosto, lembram o visual de protagonistas de animes, mas Articos é bem mais do que isso. Energético, expressivo e com um Q de mistério, ele se destaca tanto nas notas quanto na aptidão física. Embora tenha uma vida de estudante aparentemente comum, com amigos como Nolan, Christopher e Richard, há algo peculiar nele: seus pais morreram há dois anos, e, estranhamente, isso nunca afetou seu comportamento. Ele mora sozinho no antigo apartamento de seus pais, distante da escola, mas trabalha em uma cafeteria nas proximidades, um lugar que esconde muito mais do que ele imagina. Apesar de sua juventude, Articos possui um segredo que ninguém sabe: ele é mais inteligente do que qualquer pessoa poderia imaginar, uma habilidade forjada pela rigidez dos pais no passado, que o impulsionou a aprender tudo o que podia, só para encontrar algum tipo de paz. Entre o cotidiano de jogos, música e seu amor pelo frio, Articos se vê diante de desafios inesperados, mistérios envolvendo sua inteligência e quem sabe até, o início de um romance. A Cup of Secrets é uma história de vida cotidiana repleta de ação, diversão e momentos românticos, onde Articos terá que navegar por uma trama que pode mudar sua vida para sempre.

Follow Raven as she embarks on her journey in a world that tries to swallow her whole at every turn and as she learns the truth about her Mother and about herself.
