Rayne is normal in nearly all aspects, aside from her sometimes disturbing fascination with everything that shouldn't exist. Thanks to tales of her ancestor's, or at least, that's what Rayne thought. But when the Montés, a large new family, comes to town, Rayne and her little brother Oliver begin to experience some frightening things. Not only that, but his sweet, scared domineer changes drastically, creating problems within the family, and with Rayne’s own life.
An accident occurs, putting Rayne in a bizarre and explainable coma, causing her to have more dreams of strange people. When she returns home from the hospital, she is awakened and kidnapped, and their leader isn’t happy with the towns’ newest family. What did the Montés do that angered him? And why does he seem to follow Rayne? What will the terrifying new visitors do to get back at them?
As Rayne’s feelings for the two Montés brothers grow, the changes she’s going through become even more painful and uncontrollable. To Rayne’s surprise, the Montés and the band of kidnappers are not the only things that start showing up that she didn’t think existed. When Brom, a “family friend”, proves there's more than what she was able to see, Rayne starts trying to “see” what she wasn't able to before. But could what she sees be too much for her to handle along with all the disturbing changes happening to her?
With everything that’s happened and what’s to come, Rayne begins asking herself if the tales could be true, and what she has to do with them, or if the legends are leaving something important out.
Will Rayne be able to handle the massive pressure placed on her, not only by the Montés boys and the leader of the kidnappers, but by an entirely new world? Will she be able to tackle the problems that arise from the one thing she once wanted so badly to exist? The one thing she worries about most of all? Will she be able to cope with the truth about herself?
"I expect nothing more than unbridled hostility and misguided aggression from you, my little hellion," Sinjin said with a hearty chuckle.
Abandoned on the battlefield by the people she calls her tribe, Bryn must face the fact that she is now playing prisoner to the Queen of the Underworld, who also happens to be her fraternal twin sister. As the days and months go by with no word from the Supreme Elder of her tribe, Bryn thinks her life couldn't get much worse.
While Bryn bemoans her imprisonment, her sister, Jolie, is doing everything in her power to ensure that blood ties are thicker than they appear. Jolie wants nothing more than to befriend Bryn and teach her not to hate the Underworld, but to embrace it.
But Bryn fights the very idea of becoming one with her enemies, although she can't help her attraction to a certain master vampire, Sinjin Sinclair. Once Bryn is placed in Sinjin's care, she'll find herself battling the undeniable magnetism of the vampire, the one creature she abhors above all others.
Sinjin's quick wit, his indisputable sex appeal, and the mystery that surrounds him all point to the fact that if Bryn falls for him, she'll be in over her head. But, as a warrior through and through, Bryn isn't the type to fall for anything, especially a handsome face. If anyone should be able to withstand the lure of the vampire, Bryn appears to be the likeliest candidate.
Of course, looks can be deceiving...
