Hazel Evangeline Carter arrives in Beacon Hills hoping for a quiet new beginning. With her honey-brown hair, warm amber eyes, gentle personality, love of poetry and baking, and a place on the school’s cheerleading squad, she seems like an ordinary girl trying to settle into a new town. But Hazel is hiding something no one could possibly expect. She is the vessel of the White Deer Spirit, an ancient supernatural being connected to nature, healing, protection, and balance. Her powers have been kept secret for most of her life, and Hazel has learned to live quietly without revealing what she truly is. Even her magnificent true form—a luminous white deer with ivory antlers and glowing amber eyes—is something she has been taught to keep hidden. Unfortunately, Beacon Hills is not a place where supernatural secrets stay buried. When Hazel crosses paths with Scott McCall and his pack, strange things begin happening. Scott, a True Alpha, quickly realizes that Hazel’s presence is unlike anything he’s encountered before. Stiles becomes determined to figure out what she is. Lydia begins sensing something ancient surrounding her. Malia recognizes the animal instincts Hazel tries to hide, while Derek discovers old supernatural records that may explain her existence. As Hazel becomes tangled in the pack’s world, she must balance two lives: the peaceful life of a cheerleader, friend, baker, and poetry lover, and the dangerous reality of being an ancient supernatural guardian. Because in Beacon Hills, everyone has a secret. And Hazel’s might be the oldest of them all.
