Its hard to live your life never knowing what you look like.
Nadia wished she knew what her True Face looked like. She wished she had a family and a last name. She wished for so many things.
She was what they call a Shadow, or a Borrower. She could borrow your face, your body, and your voice. She has no specific features. She could change her body to look like anyone's. She could clone anyone without a single piece of DNA. But she couldn't control it, making life a tad bit difficult.
But she hated her ability.
She could never have friends, never stay in one place to long, because when you always look like your twenty-one while everyone around you ages, people tend to notice. S
o she wanders, waiting for the day her godly parents allow her to return.
So when her new neighbor, Nathan Scott, is suddenly interested in her she begins to worry. But what happens when Nathan finds out about her darkest secret? What happens when Nadia learns that Nathan isn't who he says he is?
All Nadia wants is a happy ending, but sometimes things don't always go as planned. Nadia knows that if she doesn't break her curse she will never get the happy ending she dreamed of.
