Extraordinary
Nancy Werlin
Amazon Best of the Month, September 2010: A faerie world is about to die--and one ordinary girl can change its fate. When Phoebe meets Mallory Tolliver, she is irresistibly drawn to her, despite Mallory’s odd ways. The two form a sister-like bond until Mallory’s handsome brother, Ryland, appears during their junior year, and Phoebe finds herself intensely attracted to him. A dangerous romance begins, but Phoebe soon discovers that Mallory and Ryland are not who they seem. In Extraordinary, National Book Award finalist Nancy Werlin has crafted an enchanting novel of friendship and loyalties, where family history determines the fate of many and a generations-old pact requires a sacrifice of the greatest proportion. With underlying themes of self-discovery and allegiance, there is more to Extraordinary than first meets the eye.--Seira Wilson

Mallory Tolliver has been sent by the Faerie Court to convince the mortal Phoebe Rothschild that she is ordinary. Phoebe is the bounty sought to settle an age-old debt between the Faerie Queen and Phoebe's ancestor, Mayer Rothschild. He had bargained with the Queen for five extraordinary sons in exchange for one ordinary daughter in a future generation of the Rothschild's. Mallory's mission was to become close to Phoebe, and then to break her into believing that she is ordinary. But Mallory becomes too emotionally close to Phoebe, which corrupts her mission.
