Clara Gardner's world shifts when she learns angel blood flows through her veins. This heritage makes her stronger, faster, and smarter than ordinary humans. It also burdens her with a purpose she must discover. Visions plague her mind: a forest fire raging out of control and a mysterious boy she has never met. These visions drive Clara and her family to relocate to a new town where she enrolls in an unfamiliar school. She soon encounters Christian, the exact boy from her dreams. Their meeting feels like destiny unfolding. Yet Tucker, another student, draws Clara toward her more human impulses. Clara finds herself torn between two very different paths. She must navigate dangers she cannot see and make choices between truth and lies, between love and obligation. The approaching fire from her visions threatens to test everything she believes about her role in the world. Clara struggles to understand what being part angel truly means while her heart pulls her in conflicting directions.
