I was raised to hate vampires. In my eyes, vampires are an abomination created by my ancestor's magic, and every last one of them should be wiped off the earth. ¿ And then I meet Thorne. ¿ He's one of them, but he's different than the blood-thirsty monsters I've always been led to believe they are. He's kind, funny, and charming. ¿ And more handsome than any man I've ever seen. ¿ When his friend, Annella, is kidnapped, he comes to me for help. He needs my magic to track her so they can bring her home. Even though I should say no and stay here on the island I've never left, his pleading eyes seduce me to follow him into the world I've never seen. ¿ A world so big and complex it rivals the feelings growing for Thorne that I can't seem to deny. ¿ Feelings I can't have. It's forbidden. Our lives too different. My responsibilities impossible to ignore. ¿ All I can do is try to enjoy this short time with Thorne before I must return to my home and my duties... and say goodbye to the man and the life that can never be mine.
