Description
Amina Broussard always felt like an outsider in the small Louisiana town of Bayou Jean. Plagued by strange visions and an unquenchable thirst, she begins to suspect she isn't fully human. When her mother is brutally murdered, Amina turns to her aunts in the secretive Palmetto coven for answers. They reveal Amina's true nature: she is Shadowborn, born of a powerful bruja witch and the ancient vampire Marquez. Alone and adrift, Amina is taken in by the Paladins, an elite group sworn to hunt the creatures of the night. Under their mentorship, Amina learns to wield her emerging powers - magic, premonitions, enhanced strength and speed. But not all the Paladins can be trusted. As Amina gets drawn into the sinister machinations of New Orleans' supernatural factions, she begins to question where her true allegiance lies. Is she a weapon to be used? Or does she have her own destiny apart from both sides? When Marquez sets his sights on Amina, seeing her dual bloodline as a threat, she must make her stand. To defeat this immortal monster and uncover the truth about her origins, Amina will have to embrace the darkness within. Even if it costs her the last piece of her humanity... The Borne series chronicles Amina's coming of age as she unlocks her power and place, fighting to claim independence in a war-torn world not meant for her kind. Her saga will reshape the balance of this hidden world forever.
