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

	“Nevena…” said Ivan weakly. “I will die if you take me outside. The Charovny Razsyp won’t last long in protecting me from the sun.”


	“Shh, stop talking and let’s go,” I said to him, but I was internally panicking. “We will find more Charovny Razsyp soon.”


	“I have one more in my pocket,” said Ivan, and he handed it to me. “But don’t use it until I burst into flames.”


	“It won’t come to that,” I told him, but I wasn’t really sure.


	The Academy was not shaking anymore, but there were big stones falling all over the place. The students were rushing out of there, screaming and crying and some of them looking for their friends or siblings. We walked outside of the castle, running to keep up.
