Cassandra, a seventeen-year-old French noble, is on the cusp of becoming a true vampire at eighteen, following in the footsteps of her grandmother, who remains eternally eighteen, and her grandfather, the head of a European vampire secret society. For now, she embodies the psychological traits of a vampire while still being physically human. Before her transformation, she arrives at a school established by her grandfather in her grandmother's homeland to savor the last moments of her human life. However, she inadvertently offends the school bully, Cameron, and also meets the school's talented scholar, Theodore.
To avenge himself, Cameron, spurred on by others, feigns pursuit of Cassandra but ends up genuinely entangled in his own ruse. Meanwhile, Cassandra develops a subtle affection for Theodore, who has repeatedly rescued her from danger. Complicating matters, her close friend also harbors feelings for Theodore. Amidst the emotional turmoil of a love triangle, a mysterious European vampire daywalker from Cassandra's childhood, Cocolin, emerges, adding another layer to the complexity.
Cassandra must navigate her path-will she choose to be a vampire or remain human, and who will she choose or forsake?
❝Even though they never said it to each other, they knew.❞
Cassandra Cullen was one of Carlisle Cullen's adoptive daughters in human eyes. But in reality, though, she is another person Carlisle managed to save from the evil that is this world. After being killed by her then-husband, she had never found a life partner to stick by her side and she felt quite lonely as she watched all of her new family members fall in love. That is until she finds out that she is a wolf's imprint.
With the past coming back to haunt the Cullen family and with this newfound friendship, Cassandra can't help but feel like she finally belongs in someone's arms and she wasn't going to let some redhead destroy her life because she wanted revenge.
Jared Cameron may not know this but he had been the blessing Cassandra was waiting her whole life to turn it upside down.
