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

	My body started shaking when I said the words that have been gnawing on my heart ever since I heard that blood-curdling scream when the beda demons attacked.


	It hit me all at once. Suddenly, it all made sense. What else could you expect of a potato like myself? Greasy hair, big forehead, and knack for always getting in trouble. Now, add the Destroyer of all of this around me.


	Starosta Volkova and Katarina were right all along. Slavonika Academy was fine before Ivan brought me here, and as soon as I entered its walls, everything went to shit – excuse my French.


	But now that I told Ivan, I couldn’t help but start crying. I almost started crying in front of the entire school. Those poor preternaturals. They were clapping and cheering for me, like I was some sort of Savior. If they knew that they were all going to be dead because of me…


	“What? Nevena, what are you talking about? Destroy us all? A daughter of a demon?”
