In a world where vampires and witches live in secrecy, 16-year-old Larissa Norton's life is turned upside down when her vampire parents are murdered and a dark presence begins pursuing her.

A dark figure murdered Larissa Norton’s father before coming after her and her mother. To save Larissa, her mother placed her on a train, where she fell asleep and later woke up alone…and very confused. See, vampires don’t sleep. That train delivered her to the safety of a coven where witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters live and learn together. She discovered the coven was more than it appeared, much more. It was a school full of orphans like her. All needing to learn how to hone their abilities and live in the world of humans.

Larissa is the child of two worlds. She is a witch and a vampire…Witches fear her…Vampires want her blood....and to complicate matters, she is in love with a human, which is forbidden by both. Larissa and Nathan's reunion offered a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. The coven, now on high alert and locked down, prepares for an imminent attack from the vengeful witch who once controlled the Supreme and the Council of Mages. With a singular focus on eliminating Larissa and preventing her rise to the level of supreme, the stakes have never been higher.

Larissa now knows what is after her and why, and, with the help of her new family at the coven, has survived an attempt to gain what it wants. If only life were simple and that was the end of it. While its threat constantly looms overhead, many questions still haunt Larissa. The more she learns about her past, the more questions arise from both her and other interested parties, such as the Council of Mages who are not sure what to make of this immortal sister of theirs; they are far from ready to welcome her in with open arms.
