The story: Avery always knew her life was different, but she never knew just how much until she accepted a prom date with a handsome new kid at school and ended up in Paris the next morning. Her abductors don't want to harm her--yet--but Avery finds herself in the middle of an age-old conspiracy dating back to Alexander the Great, as well as in the middle of a love triangle pitting two of the ancient families of "The Circle" against each other. She and the mysterious Jack keep just a step ahead of their enemies as Avery discovers the hidden secrets in her life--including the one that could keep her apart from Jack forever.

Liz's comments: Hand this one to fans of Ally Carter or Kate Kay Myers' "Inherit Midnight". Sometimes the author expects readers to just believe what's being delivered, rather than setting up a fully fleshed-in backstory, but with not one but TWO swoon-worthy guys at Avery's side, the average MS girl reader won't be paying attention to that!
