POWERS OF THE LEO ZODIAC AS A BIRTHRIGHT.
AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL BEING AS A SOULMATE.
THE WORLD ENDING ON YOUR SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY.
~~~
Fifteen-year-old Leo Chase knows she's not normal. Unfortunately, she knows it isn't just because of her beautiful looks, and most definitely not because of some uncanny tendency to land herself in embarrassing situations, you know, the usual annoying overrated cliché teenage angsts. She has demons in her head (literally) and a tendency to become a bloodthirsty monster if her emotions got out of hand.
Moving to Spark City, she's determined to have a normal teenage life, but the sassy prehistoric book that an even sassier, but not prehistoric, librarian has says otherwise. A countdown to the end has begun, and it has something to do with Leo.
With skeletons forcing their way out of their closets, those irritating teenage problems to deal with, and too many supernatural revelations than Leo would like, Leo's world is once more thrown upside down. And somehow, her dance partner seems like the only one who can turn it right-side up.
But there is one problem. Leo doubts he's fully human.
