All her life, Bryony Heathwood has been leading a pretty boring life full of school, TV and daydreams. So when she recieves an exploding letter from East Side School for Magical Cases she can't believe it. It's a dream come true. The only problem is she can't find any answers. Grandma seems to have a few but she's talking about vampires - what?? Bryony can't believe it. It can't be true. But it turns out that whatever or whoever East Side teaches it leads her into a life of adventure, surprises, and especially love.
