Summary
Five years after the release of Allure comes the prequel to Allure ...
Chamille Cameron is in the employ of Pythor when she is tasked not to take on an alternate persona, but her own - with the ultimate goal of bringing the Green Ninja down by ... attending high school with Lloyd? As Chamille spends more time with Lloyd, she starts to realize he is not only the indefatigable leader of the Ninja team, but also just a teenage boy who seriously needs to branch out. Could he actually be ... cute?
Lloyd is just trying to figure out who he is after returning from Shintaro. Even though months have passed since the conclusion of the Oni invasion, and the Ninja have faced Aspheera, Unagami, and King Vangelis, Lloyd still flinches at the slightest touch, sees Morro in the shadows, hears Harumi's laugh at night, and carries a Deepstone Dagger with him everywhere. His father, Garmadon, is still missing, which is great because Lloyd doesn't want to explore his Oni side anymore. He'd cut it out if he could. When Misako makes Lloyd complete his high school degree, Lloyd finds an unexpected companion in Chamille.
Lloyd and Chamille's relationship begins here and culminates in the events that lead to Allure.

Summary
“And yet,” Jay’s voice was quiet, almost softer than the rain. “If we don’t keep cutting corners like this, Allura’s going to win."
The room was still.
“What you are suggesting,” Nya said, her rough voice shattering the silence, “would split the team.”*************************
Everyone believed the prophecy of the Golden Master had been fulfilled when the Overlord stole Lloyd’s powers, attacked New Ninjago City, and killed Zane with the aid of the Golden Power and Golden Weapons.
But what if that wasn’t the case? What if the Golden Master was still yet to come?
When Pythor builds an army of former enemies and comes after the Ninja, his second-in-command, Allura, Master of Reflection, betrays Pythor and sets off a course of events that results in a devastating loss. Consumed by grief, Lloyd Garmadon has only himself to blame. Power calls to him, and he answers in a way Kai cannot follow. The Ninja struggle to chase down Allura, deal with traitors, and handle the bitter dysfunction blooming in their own team.
In Allure, the Ninja discover the true cost of power as it wrecks their team and sends them into a bloody war amongst themselves.

Summary
This series began with "Allure," a story imagining what would happen if Lloyd chose to embrace his dark side in the pursuit of victory. But over time, the bare bones of Lloyd and Chamille's backstory which were hinted at in Allure begged to be fleshed out in "The Best Part of Believe is the Lie."
If you're wondering whether you should read "Best Part" first or "Allure," it doesn't matter. It depends on the journey you're looking for as a reader! Chronologically, "Best Part" takes place before "Allure." "Allure" was written to be a dramatic tale of good and evil, whereas "Best Part" is a slower character study that culminates in the events that kick off "Allure."
Enjoy!

Summary
Sixty years ago, Emperor Garmadon took over Ninjago and the age of the Dark Empire began. After years of training, Kai and his companions attempt to finally put a stop to his evil rule, but their mission fails and Kai is the only one left in the ashes of their defeat. He's captured and tortured until the day comes that Emperor Garmadon finds a use for him—to become the personal bodyguard of his only son, Lloyd. Kai agrees with no intention of following through on any of Garmadon's orders, but when he becomes attached to the boy, he starts to believe that with Lloyd there is hope for the future.
But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. With his new life's purpose, to put the boy on a path of good, Kai is faced with the inevitable price of sacrificing his own soul.
All the while, the companions he'd thought long gone work relentlessly to build up a rebellion to face the Empire of the Darkest Night and get revenge for the supposed "death" of their lost friend.
