Beautiful Creatures: Beautiful Creatures, cartea 1
Autor Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohlen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 sep 2010 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Lena
Duchannes
is
unlike
anyone
the
small
Southern
town
of
Gatlin
has
ever
seen,
and
she's
struggling
to
conceal
her
power,
and
a
curse
that
has
haunted
her
family
for
generations.
But
even
within
the
overgrown
gardens,
murky
swamps
and
crumbling
graveyards
of
the
forgotten
South,
a
secret
cannot
stay
hidden
forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.
