The shadows come out at night … As a sheltered eighteen-year-old, who lives in one of the safest communities in America, protected from vampires, witches, shapeshifters and, most importantly, shadowbringers, I should be content, right? Wrong. I’m bored out of my mind. And I can’t help but wonder what is outside my cage, especially when a group of mysterious new kids show up at our school. One in particular is a gorgeous boy who will help me achieve my dreams … but for his own personal gain. I am going to get all the answers I ever hoped for, and then some, but the cost is high. Why? Because it turns out that I unknowingly carry my father’s secret within me, and it will literally be the death of me … If only I could hide in the shadows that I fear.
