"Why do they call it Shadowood?" I ask as we walk deeper into the forest. Old, dried up leaves crunch beneath my feet as I move a branch to the side, and drops of water from the trees above fall on my clothes from the recent rain.

Life was not nice to Demitri Shadowgood. When he was just five years old he and his parents were kidnapped and tortured. For the months they were trapped in there Demitri wondered why his family? What's even more puzzling is why the killer let him go, but not before murdering his parents. Now Demitri is sixteen. Terrifying dreams still haunt him from that horrible night. He has one keepsake given to him from the killer. A scar in the shape of a star of David on his left forearm. Will one strange day change his life forever?

Independent and strong-willed Della Tsang hadn't believed in ghosts until she saw her dead cousin darting into the shadows of an alley. She hadn't believed in vampires until in the dark of that same night she is turned into one. Introduced to a strange world of supernaturals, she struggles to accept this new reality. Unfortunately, the boy she loves senses something different about her and can't accept her. Should she follow her vampire cousin's lead-walk away from everything she's knows and loves-and fake her own death? Or should she set her pride aside and ask for help from the camp leader of Shadow Falls-a camp where supernaturals go to learn how to cope with their powers. Either way, her life as she knows it, will never be the same.
