As Clara makes
her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the
fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he’s not
the only one. . . . With the battle against the Black Wings looming,
Clara knows she must finally fulfill her destiny. But it won’t come
without sacrifices and betrayal.

In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees . . . .
Clara
Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood
run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster
than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but
it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do.
Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a
raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a
new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her
dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place and out of place
at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to
Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a
world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and
choices she never thought she'd have to make between honesty and deceit,
love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally
ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
Unearthly is a moving tale of love and fate, and the struggle between following the rules and following your heart.
