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

	Before we left, I insisted that we eat. Ivan went out and caught a few wild animals and cooked them for me. I stayed in the underground cave pool room because I didn’t want to be alone with Baba Roga again.


	I told Ivan that he needed to drink some more of my blood, but he politely refused.


	“Not until I know how long the effects would last,” he told me. Then he told me everything that happened after I buried him in the ground while I was eating.


	I gave the remaining rog to Ivan, just in case, and we both grabbed as much Charovny Razsyp as we could carry on ourselves without slowing us down. I knew that I had the power to do Magic now, but I still wasn’t trained on how to access it. I also didn’t understand how could I be half-vampire, and not need blood, but that was a mystery that we could solve later.
