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

	When the demons launched themselves at us, I put out my arms and hands and I tried to think of how to use my powers consciously.


	If something happened, I wasn’t quite sure, but the demons seemed to avoid me, and they rushed straight for Ivan.


	I spotted Volkova, and I saw her run over the debris and the ruins, down towards the woods. I knew I needed to stay and help Ivan and Valeria, if she was still alive, but I also knew that I needed to face off Volkova on my own. That was her whole plan all along.


	I hesitated; I am not going to lie. But then I was comforted by the fact that Ivan was, after all, a vampire, and therefore immortal. The demons might injure him, but they couldn’t kill him.


	I wasn’t sure if that was quite true, but I needed to believe it.
