Beautiful creatures : dark secrets will come to light
\"Lena has just moved to the small, Southern town of Gatlin, where the only person who seems to understand her, or dream of bigger places or ideas, is a cute guy named Ethan Wate, who recognizes her instantly from the cryptic dreams he's been having every night. Lena is an orphan, and she's come to stay with her mysterious uncle, Macon Ravenwood, the patriarch of her powerful family. Powerful, because The Ravenwood clan are Casters, born with powers that ordinary mortals don't have, like the ability to move objects, control the elements, and even step out of normal space and time to communicate only with each other.
