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

	My mom didn’t need much explaining, once I introduced her to Ivan. She knew exactly what he was the second she saw him, and if I thought that she was going to be disapproving, I was severely mistaken.


	You see, my mom never stopped loving my dad, knez Beregov. She knew more about Slavonika Academy and the world of Slavic Magic than I had anticipated, and she talked to Ivan until the sun came up. When he didn’t burn, she asked us to explain everything that happened and I told her the whole sordid tale, with all the good and the bad, and everything in between.


	“Volkova never liked me,” said my mom, and it was so surreal to me to be in our small apartment, with my mom making me breakfast in the kitchen, talking about the murderous and crazy Starosta. “I met her a few times. She pretended to be Vukashin’s friend, but I knew that she loved him. I could just feel it.”
