Life forever changes for 17-year-old Alexandria Klein when she is taken in by her maternal grandmother: a woman Alex doesn't even remember. In her new home, discrepancies over Alex's past arise, and she realizes not everyone is who they seem to be.
It is there Alex finds a story, an old story that had been hidden away from society for centuries. With the power Alex unleashes, a threat arises. In order to help Alex, her grandmother brings everything to light; or so Grandma Hadley says. After being told the mysteries of her family, Alex realizes that the story and her past are intertwined, and perhaps, so are their futures.
Some secrets are best kept that way and some questions should remain unanswered, but behind the doors of Hadley Manor lie many secrets that cause Alex to question everything.
However, there is one question Alex can't help but ask: how far will others go to live forever?
