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

	That old wolf bitch, was dragging me down the hallways of Slavonika by my hair, and when I started screaming and fighting, she put a spell on me that made me go limp, yet somehow increased the amount of pain I was feeling.


	I knew exactly where she was taking me and what she planned on doing to me. She has been planning to do this ever since I got here. There was no doubt about it now. It was all clear to me, but I was just sad that me and Ivan didn’t see it right away.


	I wasn’t sure what Volkova did to him, but he wasn’t able to move his body when she dragged me down the hallway. I wished I could do something, but I felt so tired, so powerless and hopeless at that moment, that I just wanted all of it to stop.


	The only regret I had was not giving Ivan just one more kiss.


	I knew that I was going to die now. There was no way I was getting out of this again. I felt it in my bones.
