All Nevena wants is to be like all the other seventeen-year-old American teenagers: go out with her friends, date a cute boy, and get a driver's license. But Nevena's mom wants her to be true to her Serbian roots and tries to raise the girl in a traditional manner.

After Nevena hears that her mother plans to take her to Serbia for the summer, she plans to escape and hide at her best-friend Rachel's house, but her plans go out the window when she is swept off her feet by a handsome vampire named Ivan and taken to Slavonika Academy, a school for those gifted with Slavic Magic.

This new world is more dangerous for Nevena than Ivan expected, especially since Nevena seems to be just a human. She's caught in a world too perilous for her to navigate without any Magic abilities. But Ivan got her into this mess, and he promises to do anything in his power to protect Nevena.

The Embrace of the Vampire

	When I finally stirred and managed to open my eyes, I wasn’t sure if I actually did so because wherever I was it was so dark. Was I dead? I wondered, and then slowly the memory of what happened came back to me like flashing images… the roof, the vampire Ivan, the nightguard, Ivan pushing me off the building and then falling…


	“Oh no,” I said and I straightened up, but my entire body ached like it never had before. If I was dead and this is what death was, then no wonder all the people were afraid of dying.


	But somehow, I knew I wasn’t dead. Just badly maimed or injured… and no idea where I was, but I knew one thing. This wasn’t a hospital.


	I started feeling for my surroundings, but I couldn’t get ahold of anything like a switch or a button, so I started to freak out, but then I touched something soft next to where the nightstand would be, and I realized it was bread.
