18-year-old Juliette Crane didn't choose what fate had inevitably dealt to her. When she was only 8 years old, she didn't choose for her mother to commit suicide without any semblance of warning. She didn't choose to have a horribly abusive father who drags around a ridiculous stepmother as some sort of replacement. She didn't choose for her life to be this way; all she knows is that she hates whoever did. After being forced out of the house by her father, Juliette finds herself falling headfirst into reality's harsh grip. She is left wandering with no semblance of support and no way to live independently. The only sliver of hope comes from the invisible remnants of her dead mother. Just when Juliette believes death will overcome her, an impossible Change occurs, causing her to transform into a creature that is far from human. After discovering a world she had no idea even existed, and realizing destiny has deemed her a part of it, she has a choice to either accept it or run from it. With the help of an inhumanly beautiful man as well as two other creatures, Juliette must find her way through a hidden world that lies just under the human radar. In the novel The Unknown, a troubled teenager must sever herself from humanity in order to fulfill a destiny she didn't plan. Join Juliette Crane as she fights through common adversity in order to uncover secrets about her mother's past while delving into a new, impossible future.
