When an accident threatens seventeen year old Shay's life, he catches the eye of ancient vampire Jonathan. Something about Shay compels Jonathan to save his life, turning him into a half-vampire in the process.

But now Shay's life has been turned upside down and the world he once knew has changed entirely. His dream of going to college and becoming a journalist has been shattered, in its place is a fight for survival. Vampire hunters will stop at nothing to rid the world of creatures of the night and the sorcerers in their employ are a force to be reckoned with.

One such sorceress was Shay's best friend in his old life, Rosheen. Convinced that Shay was murdered by a vampire, Rosheen makes it her life's mission to track down Jonathan and kill him. Under the tutelage of one of the most powerful sorceresses, she will learn to master the mystic arts and exact her revenge.

Torn between his loyalty to Jonathan, the vampire who saved his life, and Rosheen, his lifelong friend, Shay will soon find he must choose a side. But when the line separating good and evil becomes harder to distinguish, how can he ever know which choice is right?
