Darkling (2012)
“Though Vega could hardly tear her gaze from the dashing man, she tried not to gape at the mounds of paper or the tall silver cabinets behind him. Most of this world was alien to her. At least she knew what windows and an office were. While she might know the word “paper”, she had no clue what it might be used for.
She shrank into the recesses of her clothes, seeking to stay out of the sunlight. A fallen star had no place on Earth at any time, let alone at midday during a heat wave. But she had ...exactly two weeks to accomplish her mission. If she didn’t burn up first.
As a celestial being, she was accustomed to high temperatures. Of all the stars in her constellation, she was the brightest in the velvety southern sky. But the difference was just that—she hung in the night sky.
When she’d slipped through the atmosphere and collided with Earth’s crust, she was stunned by the rising sun. For her entire life, she’d faded into the distance when the first sparks of sunlight pierced her dark realm.MoreLess
