Fated
As the daughter of a busy Hollywood make-up artist, Daire Santos has been trotting the globe her entire life. While it may sound exciting and glamorous on the surface, after a lifetime of it, all Daire knows is that she¿s never attended a real school, never enjoyed a real home-cooked meal, and she¿s never stayed in any one place long enough to make a real friend. It¿s a life that¿s left her rebellious and jaded far beyond her years--but lately, strange things have been happening. Crows mock her, animals talk to her, and glowing people appear out of nowhere.
Worried that her daughter is having a nervous breakdown, her mother packs her off for an extended stay in the barren, dusty plains of New Mexico. There she¿ll live with a grandmother she¿s never met¿a woman who recognizes Daire¿s bizarre episodes for what they are. A call to her true destiny as a soul seeker, one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Her grandmother immediately begins teaching her to harness her powers---but it¿s an art that must be mastered quickly. Because an evil shape-shifter (who bears an eerie resemblance to the boy she¿s fallen for) is determined to destroy not just their entire community¿but to propel the world toward apocalyptic doom.
