It's been several months since Rory left her old life behind to move to her family's magical library in the coastal town of Ivory Beach. When her best friend from back home gets in touch, she can't wait to introduce her to her new family -- even if she can't share the truth of the magical world with an outsider.
When a vampire shows up dead, however, Rory finds herself revisiting a more unwelcome part of her history, and the scheming vampires who've made it their goal to get their hands on Rory's late father's journal.
Did one of the vampires commit murder, or is there a new enemy about to enter Rory's life? If she wants the truth, she's going to have to face her fears... or her loved ones might well be the ones to suffer the consequences.
