What if the ordinary family you crave finds you? Only they're not ordinary, neither are you, and neither are the vampire neighbours raising your twin sister.

An accident is all it takes to turn my mundane life in a London children's home upside down.

Power and magic lurk at the priory, my new home in the Oxfordshire countryside, and I learn fast that nothing is ordinary around here. Not my newfound family-the Penhaligons. Not my long-lost twin sister. And not the hostile new neighbours-a coven of vampires, vaewolves and demons.

As I grapple with family secrets, four powerful new brothers, and latent abilities of my own, my sister and the man who raised her find themselves in mortal danger-a danger that draws me and my family into a battle to save them.

Finally embracing the meaning of family, two questions burn at the back of my mind.

If vampires and demons exist, what are the Penhaligons?

And what am I?

There she finds out that her world is a lot bigger than she expected, that humans are surrounded every day by vampires, werewolves, and witches, more than that she might actually be one herself. Now she has to learn how to control her powers and how to live and interact with other supernatural creatures. Like the werewolves that won't leave her alone - not that she really wants them to - and the vampire tutor that makes her heart pound loudly in her chest whenever she sees him. Not only that but outside of the school, something is brewing other supernatural creatures hate seeing the interactions of the school. For centuries vampires and werewolves have hated each other but here they are learning and working together. A war is coming to rip them apart and Morgan might end up caught in the middle of it because of her feelings for both the werewolves and the vampire. Can she learn to control her powers before the war comes and help protect the school and the people that mean so much to her or will she be too late and lose everyone she cares about just as she is starting to learn to trust and love again?

Being trapped inside one place most of your life is suffocating. So I took it upon myself to go behind my mother's back every chance I got to leave. I never thought that one day I would be caught. My mother agrees to let me go to school with the neighboring pack's alpha. She only agreed to prove to me that was a monster to other species. To her a Vampire demon should never be left unattended. She may be right most of the times. This time I think my mother could be wrong. Mother doubted me only to be proved wrong. I can coexist with wolves, I've been doing it for years. Now the humans. They are tempting for a hybrid like me. I can push past their tempting blood for 8 hours each day. The thing is I might not want to but I can. Life just keep throwing obstacles my way. Now I have a beloved. An extremely tempting beloved. My demon loves the taste of blood. How long before she gets a taste or our mates?
