A teen discovers that she is part angel in this first book in an epic trilogy of love and fate, perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and Stephanie Garber.
Clara Gardner has always been ordinary—until now. When she starts having visions of a raging forest fire and a beautiful, mysterious boy she's destined to save, she learns the truth: she's part angel, and this fire is her purpose, the task she was put on Earth to fulfill. Determined to succeed, Clara moves her family to a small Wyoming town to be closer to the boy from her visions, Christian Prescott.
But nothing could have prepared her for Tucker Avery, the infuriating, irresistible local cowboy who threatens to derail her destiny entirely. As the day of the fire draws closer, Clara must decide: will she follow the rules of her angelic purpose, or follow her heart?
