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

	I couldn’t believe that we were back at Slavonika Academy. But the thing I couldn’t believe the most was how much the Academy has changed since the last time we were here.


	The walls were scratched and there were blood stains on the floor. Students were still wearing their uniforms (blue pants, white shirts and red blazers), but they were also carrying weapons, such as knives, axes, hammers, swords and sabers. I even saw some vilas walking around with rogs tied to their belts.


	That’s why I was not surprised when I saw Starosta Volkova looking older than ever before, her hair a complete mess and her eyes shooting poisonous arrows at me and at Nevena. I couldn’t really blame her, but I still wished she would leave us alone.


	“Leave us,” she commanded the rest of the vukodlaks that took us from the woods and brought us back. My hands were still in chains, but I was not going to complain about that. At least they weren’t silver. “Not you, Gulakova. But everybody else – OUT!”
