Ava Miller thought she was a normal sixteen-year-old girl.
Then she found out she died years ago.
Ava can heal herself miraculously from grave injuries, hear whispers nobody else can and make objects move on their own. Now she’s learned the horrifying truth: She died as a baby and was resurrected through forbidden necromancy. Now she’s something unnatural — a Shade. Neither fully alive nor truly dead.
Ava just wants to be a normal teenage girl, and keeping her secret is destroying the life she fought so hard to build. When she meets Declan, a mysterious new student who seems to know more about Shades than he admits, she’s offered one impossible chance to become human again.
Together they set out on a dangerous journey to find a powerful artifact rumored to strip Ava of her powers. But dark forces are hunting them and the line between trust and betrayal is beginning to blur. Ava will soon start to wonder if a normal life is really worth it — or if some things were never meant to come back.
Perfect for fans of Belladonna, Beautiful Creatures and Twilight, A Rose for Ava is a young adult paranormal fantasy romance that blends forbidden magic, slow burn romance, and deadly secrets into a story about identity, love and what it truly means to be alive.
