Macaire O'grady

To Be Human Macaire O'grady

When Maria comes face-to-sky with her first shooting star, she has only one wish: to turn her extraordinarily ordinary life into a mystical adventure worthy of her favorite and beloved stories. What she doesn't expect is for her best friend Kate to show up on her doorstep with a life-changing proposition: to stay home in her safe and boring life forever, or to leave everything behind and embark on the adventure of a lifetime to the unfamiliar world of the supernatural. It's an offer she can't refuse. Maria is soon immersed in a rivalry older than time, and is quick to find that she might just be the wildcard that both sides have been searching for in this centuries-old stalemate, not that she's interested in being anyone's pawn. That's not even her biggest problem, though. It's possible the past Maria left behind wasn't so ordinary, and the faces that hunt her down are more familiar than she will ever admit.
