Lena Duchannes Timeline & Summary

•  Back
• More 

• Lena shows up in school to a warm Southern welcome. Oh wait, not really—everyone hates her.
• After her hearse breaks down, she tries to flag down help, but almost gets hit by Ethan in a car.
• When she and Ethan touch for the first time, a nearby tree explodes. No big deal.
• Lena is bullied at school, big time. Venting her anger, she telepathically breaks some windows. Okay, now this is getting weird.
• One day, Ethan finds Lena crying in the garden of Greenbrier. Lena gradually lets Ethan into her life, even inviting him over for a family dinner. Things are moving pretty fast, don't you think?
• At the dinner, Lena argues with her cousin Ridley and generates a hurricane that literally blows Ridley out of the house. Ethan gets a little banged up in the process.
• The next day, Lena spills the beans to Ethan about what she is and what her family's powers are. Let's just say she's no normal teenager.
• In Lena's bedroom, the two kiss for the first time.
• Ethan invites Lena to his house for Thanksgiving dinner and she fits in well—Amma even stops time to have a private chat with the girl.
• After Ethan digs up Genevieve's grave to get The Book of Moons, Lena erases the memories of Aunt Del and Reece so they won't remember what went down.
• At the Winter Formal, Lena unwittingly plays the part of Sissy Spacek, getting sloshed with water by her classmates.
• After Lena's sweet sixteen surprise party, Lena clashes (that's putting it lightly) with her mother, Sarafine.
• Lena is told that she has to make a life-changing Choice [sic].
• Lena and Amma use The Book of Moons to resurrect Ethan, who was stabbed by Sarafine—in doing so, they avoid the Claiming.
• Whew. Lena goes Unclaimed. But her eyes have changed a wee bit: one is still green, but the other is now gold. Awesome.
