Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.
Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him--and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.
With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.

Why I'm Wishing...
I'm definitely curious about this series and will try anything by Rachel Hawkins :) But it's such a long wait!

  2. Ooohh just hearing of this for the first time and it sounds great! She is a Paladin and I love romances when two opposites that dislike each other are thrown together. Both seem to have important roles and destinies.

    My WOW

  9. I see the wait is long, but this sounds totally twisted. A girl as paladin with a geek to protect? That's not the usual mo, and I think it's definitvely worth a shot. Thanks for stepping by and sharing!

  26. This cover looks very similar to Jen Calonita's series but I enjoy Hawkins' writing a lot so there should be room for this one too.
