#1 in The Shadow King trilogy.

"So, you're a werewolf?"

"And you're a leech," Paul growled at me. "Of course, I had to be the one to imprint on a leech."

In a small town shrouded in mystery, sixteen-year-old vampire Henry Cullen, petite yet dangerously charming, navigates the complexities of his existence as a bloodsucker and an enigmatic beauty. Underneath his alluring facade lies a dark power- an ability to manifest one's greatest fears through shadow manipulation, driving those he uses the gift upon to the brink of madness. When he and his fierce sister, Alice, befriend Isabella Swan, the alluring and mortal companion of the brooding vampire Edward Cullen, while drawn by his rebellious spirit, he ventures onto the forbidden reservation where he encounters Paul, an impulsive young werewolf on the edge of a dangerous cliff. He saves Paul from a deadly fall, sparking an unlikely relationship that defies the ancient feud between their kinds.
