At age sixteen, Nico Lerner saved the world. Now, at age twenty-three, she just wants to be left alone. That would be a lot easier if she wasn't the most powerful Seer around.

On Chosen Ones:

It’s worth noting that Nico’s world relies heavily on the Chosen Ones of various prophecies. At least once a year, there’s a prophesied monster or end of the world coming up, and all of them mention someone who can stop it happening. Most of the time, it goes smoothly. Chosen One is alerted, Chosen One saves the world. Chosen Ones are celebrities among paranormal communities, especially the ones whose prophecies took years to come to fruition. I mention this because it’s necessary to understand Nico’s story to realize that there are entire organizations dedicated to tracking down, training, and utilizing Chosen Ones. She’s not special for being a Chosen One, just for turning it down.

Bueno, tengo que irme. Mi computadora no está funcionando con dos Tumblrs a la vez. Estaré a Newt si alguien me quiere.

          “I’m sorry about… Well, him. He’s not a complete insufferable asshole when you get to know him.”

She shrugs like it doesn’t matter, because to her it doesn’t. “I gave him a run for his money.”

“Haven’t got a Blu-Ray player yet. DVD it is.”

[rcluctant-blog]

“DVD then. Follow me.” She stomped one foot on the floor to pop the wheel out of her sneaker and skated back to the corner where they kept their tiny selection of nonfiction DVDs.

[bastienprice190402-deactivated2]

As the young woman appeared Bastien took a good look at her for a few seconds, then looked away before it seemed creepy. It was definitely her. How was he to go about this? He glanced around the store, then turned his eyes to her again and pulled a small smile.

“D’you have any DVDs on Houdini?”

[rcluctant-blog]

She wasn’t telepathic, but she had a horrible feeling she knew where this was going. Those feelings were usually right, for her, but she wasn’t going to run away on instinct.

“One or two. Not a huge range of bios, but there’s something. You attached to DVDs, or do Blu-Rays work?”

[rcluctant-blog]

In Nico’s world, witchcraft is something that can be done by anyone given enough practice and mental discipline. She’s not great at it, but she knows more than a few tricks to get her out of sticky situations.

“Yeah, and?”

     Spin Doctor, here it was. Bastien double checked the name he had scribbled on a      piece of scrap paper. He looked at the store sign before then entering. 

          “Hello? Anyone here?”

[rcluctant-blog]

She was actually in the back pulling some CDs for a new display when the bell over the door rang. Immediately she put down what she was doing and went out--and when she caught a good look at the guy who came in, she almost turned right around again.

“Yeah, what do you need?”

                                           “No me importa.                                You know what that means?                                    It means I. Don’t. Care.”
