I have a confession to make: I'm a vampire. Or, to be completely honest, I'm half-vampire and half...no one knows and there lies my problem. You see, to be a vampire, or a werewolf, or any other of the supernatural creatures humans call Immortals is easy. There are schools, jobs, communities, but to be a half-blood, to be a hybrid, leaves someone out in the cold. There are rules to follow as a pureblood, regulations to help deal with humans. But if our blood is tainted, we are sent away, to the furthest outskirts our families can find. There, we are left to become whatever monsters we were born to be.

Scarlett Wharton isn't an average vampire. She hates the sight of blood, let alone the taste of it. When a new student comes to Immortal High, she finds herself confronting just what it is to be part vampire.

When the school is attacked by creatures lost to myth, Scarlett finds herself having to face her own uncertain past. Her gift might just be what can save her friends.
