Elena Manory is by no means an ordinary teenage girl. Being born with the ability to heal herself from any injury, and with the knowledge that on her eighteenth birthday she will become a vampire, Elena is aware that she is more than a little different from other girls her age. It isn't until she meets William Granville, an alluring and impossibly handsome vampire, that she begins to question her destiny and what secrets the Institute of Magical Intervention and her adopted family have withheld - secrets that could change the fates of not only her own life, but of the lives of all the immortals. As events spiral out of control, William may be the only person Elena can place her trust in. He, and Elena's magical family, must fight to save her, joining forces to defeat a common, deadly foe. For William, it is his chance to save the girl that he has searched eternity to find.
Life for Elena Manory skipped past ordinary just over a month ago. Discovering she was born a practically invulnerable vampire-werewolf hybrid was shocking enough; but she's also become a target, hunted by an Alpha werewolf known as Roshan, who's fixated on the properties of her unique blood and the pleasurable possibilities of her flesh. Moving to the Institute of Magical Intervention in Romania was supposed to provide her with protection and anonymity, but Elena soon realises her enemies are legion. No one is who they seem, no agenda truly without nefarious intentions. A strange twist of fate and the actions of a vampire previously pressing for her affections lead Elena into the arms of another - one whose middle name spells trouble. Himself a vampire, Sebastian is handsome, arrogant, and perplexingly familiar. He introduces Elena to a world she never thought possible, uncovers a past believed buried, and unearths a future she may not survive.
Trouble is Elena Manory's middle name and constant companion. Her adopted brother Lucas is missing, and her body is going through further bizarre and surprising changes. Killing has become second nature and distancing herself from the men in her life a hobby. But more trouble is on its way: The Institute of Magical Intervention wants to harvest Elena's blood for nefarious intent; the werewolves plan to dominate, feed and breed with her; and, to add insult to injury, a psychopathic vampire hell-bent on revenge is relentlessly hunting her. Kidnapped and kept under constant duress, Elena's salvation once again rests in the cold hands of the enigmatic William Granville. Blood is on the menu and her earlier fears of turning hairy at full moon are well founded. It's time for Elena to sharpen her claws and kick some serious ass.

Dead bodies are piling up and all the evidence points to Katie's blood-stained hands. Will she end up killing the competition before security discovers she's rotten underneath.

Too much has changed and Elena is not only uncertain herself, but the expectations of others and the role they expect her to play.
