The Fallen:
Chloe King was a normal sixteen-year-old girl.
She did her homework and got good grades, but she wasn't afraid to ditch
class sometimes to hang out with her best friends. She slept at home, but
otherwise avoided all human contact with her mom. The usual stuff. Then
she fell from San Francisco's highest tower, and her life changed. For
starters, she died. And then, she woke up. Now Chloe's life is anything
but normal: Suddenly guys are prowling around her, she's growing claws,
and someone's trying to kill her. Luckily for Chloe, she still has eight
lives to go.
The Stolen:
She argues with her mother. She occasionally skips class. And she
alternately crushes on two totally different boys. But Chloe King is by
no means your typical teenager. The girl can scale buildings and see in
the dark. Sometimes, at night, she even likes to leap from rooftop to
rooftop. Yes, Chloe has the instincts and ability of a cat. And that
makes her unique indeed. It also makes her a wanted woman. Because the
Order of the Tenth Blade does not deal kindly with people like Chloe.
It stalks them. Preys upon them. And wants many of them - like Chloe,
for instance - dead.
The Chosen:
Despite a rocky few weeks, Chloe King is starting to get it. She's
figured out who she is (a girl with catlike superpowers), where she
belongs (at home with Mom), and what she wants to do (chill with her
friends). Yes, she's got funky superpowers, and yes, two rival groups
think she's some "chosen" leader. But no, she's not buying all that
ancient-warrior crap. And she's definitely not developing a superhero
alter ego like in those old comic books. For Chloe, being the One means
she can have whatever she wants - i.e., more goof-off time and fewer
"cat people" conventions. Then she finds her friend bleeding in an alley.
All at once Chloe realizes that the years of bloodshed are not over.
In fact, they never will be. The Mai and the Tenth Blade are going to
persist in their dangerous rivalry. Unless Chloe accepts her destiny -
and takes control.
