The Mortal Heart

By: Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

Narrated by: Ellen Archer

Everyone in Gatlin has a story...
Before she met and married Mitchell Wate, the beautiful and brilliant Lila Jane Evers was an honors student at Duke University. Studying late into the night in the rare books library, she is captivated by a single line of text on an old piece of parchment: "In the Light there is Dark, and in the Dark there is Light."
What can it mean?
Then one night, Lila Jane meets a mysterious young man who may have the answer. His name is Macon Ravenwood, and for every secret he reveals, he is hiding another. With Macon's help, Lila Jane uncovers the wonders of the Caster world--the Light and the Dark. But a romance between the Incubus who is fighting his own dark side and this fiercely independent Mortal is doomed from the start. The closer Lila Jane and Macon become, the more her life is in danger.
Discover the unforgettable and untold story of how Lila and Macon fell in love in this all-new Beautiful Creatures novella from #1 New York Times bestselling authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.

Great insight

The beautiful Creatures series is what got me back into reading. These books are a great way after reading the original series to learn more about the characters!

Getting questions answered...

Kami and Margaret wrote this as an epilogue like sequel. We find out a little tiny bit about Ethan and Lena after high school. The book is actually focused on how Lila met Macon and fell madly in with him. I always had questions in this area and I'm glad they answered it!

Getting to know Lila Jane was amazing!

I will keep saying this. These small stories are amazing! I am so glad our amazing authors Kami and Margi gave us these stories to follow up and give us more of the world we love! It is so fun to get the back stories and more in depth knowledge of their lives. THANK YOU LADIES!!!
