Synopsis

Arabella has her life following high school all planned out. Supernatural beings kidnapping her to be their leader wasn’t supposed to be part of that plan.

Luca, seer of the Heavens Clan, has known Arabella would be the future leader of his clan—and his wife—since he was five years old. He’s spent nearly fifteen years catching glimpses of her living her life as a human, ignorant of the enchanted races. And now that it’s finally time for her to take her rightful place, his visions have revealed something new. In order to keep her safe, Heavens must allow another clan to steal her away first.

Arabella is on her way to work as a counselor at the camp she loved growing up, eager to help young kids find themselves. Instead she finds herself kidnapped by people claiming they’re supernatural beings and she’s meant to be their leader. The worst part? Her parents aren’t expecting her home all summer and have no idea she’s missing.

Dragged to some annual clan meeting between celestial guardians, the race her kidnappers claim they’re from, her every move is watched to prevent her from escaping. But there’s also the Heavens Clan, who she’s warned is unhinged from being leaderless for so long, who she swears is watching her too. Especially their supposed seer. Could they be her saviors? Or would trusting them put her in even greater danger?
