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

	Katarina didn’t look like herself and I couldn’t understand why she had a rog in her hand. She was the one who told me that rogs were not used anymore because they were temperamental and because a lot of preternaturals reversed back to the ways of their ancestors because of the animalistic Magic or something like it.


	I figured that she didn’t like the use of rogs, from the way that she said it.


	But now she looked like she had gone completely wild in just a few hours.


	“Stay away from the Sledovik, Nevena!”


	“I don’t understand… what happened to you, Katarina?”


	Her strawberry-blond hair was almost black now and sticky. I didn’t know if some demon exploded all over her or she just bathed in ink. There were scratches all over her arms, but they looked self-imposed somehow, and her eyes looked crazy.


	“I figured it out! I finally figured it out!”
