Seeking answers, her cravings lead her to the wrong place at the wrong time, opening her eyes to a hidden world where two dangerous covens are fighting a vampire war. After she's rescued from the dark forces by Caleb, a mysterious and powerful vampire, Caitlin becomes caught between two men - and two worlds - on a journey to discover who she truly is.

My name is Julie Quinn and I've been a New Yorker all my life. Life was good. I was swamped with work doing a job that I loved and I was dating the best boyfriend I'd ever had the pleasure to. I have always been a strong-willed and independent woman - or as my best friend puts it "control freak" - and even more after the accident, but what happened on the eve of my 30th birthday was enough to bring down Wonder Woman.
