The haunting trees lead me astray, a liar’s tongue that I hear play. Avery has a dangerous secret. He pretends to be this perfect angel, but he regularly sneaks into the town’s forbidden forest. I’m the only one who knows, and I paid for it the night I followed him inside. There’s a reason the forest is forbidden. Ghost wolf, anyone? Don’t worry. I survived. But I’m more confused than ever, and Avery isn’t forthcoming. What’s it going to take to get him to talk?

Eighteen-year-old Nova Ray didn't have big plans for the future. She was comfortable living life quietly and unseen with her mother, but all of that changed the night a mysterious man triggered her curse and revealed her vampire nature. Nova would have killed someone that night, maybe even her human mother, if she hadn't been found and taken to Nightshade Academy first. But her troubles are far from over.

Hi. My name is Ri. I’m the kind of delinquent teenage girl you hear horror stories about. My parents thought they could reform my “bad” attitude and get me away from my “troublemaking” friends in the city by shipping me off to my grandparents’ house in the countryside for the summer. I’m supposed to stay clear of the “forbidden” forest and piss away my days in my grandparents’ stupid rose garden alongside a boy named Avery.

Nightshade Academy is going to burn, and it's all my fault. Kian and I thought the witch called Helena would start the fire in his visions. We were wrong. It's Eduardo, my father, the vampire who made me and my twin, Archer, what we are.

Ice ruins permeated by death. A deranged vampire and her pet demon. Visions of Nightshade Academy on fire. Just another chapter in the nightmare that has become the life of Nova Ray. Helena, Nightshade's benefactor, wants me and my twin, Archer, to find some portal leading into another world, one full of angels and demons.

My mom is dead. She committed suicide. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. I was going to beat my bloodlust and go back to her. Now I have nothing except for an addiction to Kian’s blood and a twin I didn’t know about. My twin’s name is Archer, and our Colors are reactive. I’m dangerous enough on my own. With Archer, I’m worse. We drain the auras of living things.

Monster hunters, demons, Nightshade's mysterious benefactor. There's a lot about this world I don't know, and it keeps getting worse. Kian's blood is the only thing I can stomach. Our Colors react, and he knows things about me he shouldn't. The headmaster of Nightshade Academy says she's never seen a blood sensitivity as bad as mine, which is probably a nice way of saying my bloodlust is out of control. I'm starting to think I'll never get out of here or see my mom again. But I'm not giving up.

I’m used to being the weird girl. When I look at people, I see their Colors instead of their faces. But I never thought a vampire would rip out of me when a mysterious man told me these simple words: “Your blood is mine.” The timing was too perfect. Right after that, the headmaster of Nightshade Academy kidnapped me before I could hurt someone with my newly “awakened” vampire genes. Now she’s making me attend her school until I’ve relearned how to be a civilized human being.
