For Ruby Moore life is far more complicated than that of your average teen, for she is in no way average. Ruby is a vampire and her life as a vampire is far from traditional... It has been one year since her normal life was brutally taken from her. Still adjusting to the shock of the change from mortal to immortal, her world is rocked again and she is taken under the wings of a guardian angel back to Sage Sanctum, a school beyond reach from the vampires that are determined to destroy her.

What if everything you knew, everything you believed ... was a lie? For Ruby Moore life doesn't slow down. It's just one roller coaster ride after another and when the higher power comes to visit, Ruby's world is shaken to its foundations. He offers her a job and if she wants to protect those she loves, she has no choice but to accept it.

In the aftermath of a battle that forced Ruby to flee the safety of the guardian angels, she settles into a small town, hoping to blend in and forget about the ones she loved. It isn't until Hunter stumbles across her working in a bar and a well-timed email from Ivan Aleksandrov that she realized she could go back to Sage Sanctum - for a few days, at least. Out for revenge, Lucian will stop at nothing until he has Ruby for himself, but he isn't the only one that needs her.
