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

	I have to say, the odds were not looking like they were in our favor. There were hundreds – no, thousands – of demons around us, some on their feet, some circling us from the sky.


	And when Volkova said now, they all attacked at the same time.


	I started casting spells like I have never cast before in my life. Balachkos were roaring loudly, stamping the ground and making everything shake. If there was a castle, I was sure if would’ve collapsed under them. Beda demons, bauks, chorts, drekavacs, likhos, and all the other scary creatures that your grandparents used to scare you with, were all present.


	In the mayhem, I lost track of where Nevena and Volkova were. The demons seemed to be interested in completely wiping me off the face of the earth. But I also couldn’t leave Valeria’s helpless body again and have her get stomped by a balachko – a three headed giant, fueled by rage. And there were at least dozens of them.
