Once on top of the social pyramid, now a total outcast, Summer struggles to save her life as it begins to fall apart: her family thinks she's a psychopath, her friends have abandoned her, and now Keith,her boyfriend has decided that he can't take any more of her. A strange encounter with a stranger in the woods has changed her entire life's course. Besides her already abnormal behavior, Summer notices other strange things going on inside her: burning thirst, uncontrollable anger, and an unnatural pull to do things she had never dreamed of doing. Now she has bigger problems to worry about: a murder, done by her own hands. She knows the stranger had something to do with what was happening, and she was determined to find, and kill whoever turned her into this monster. But, when it comes down to it, will Summer be able to do it ? Or will fate prevail?
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
