Tierra is a troubled sixteen-yearold in the small town of Fort White. The sun rarely shines in her town; it s the prime place to hide if you re different. Tierra has a family secret. Her life is one incredible nightmare and she s alone even in a crowded room until handsome Troy Westfall arrives in town. Troy has a secret too, and he sees Tierra for what she is; an amaranthine hidden in plain sight. From the start the two strike up an immortal bond that threatens to tear her family and friendships with the people she love apart, and bring the small town crumbling to the ground. But the romance between Troy and Tierra is not so simple: they are vampires, and their families share a centuries-long feud founded on hatred and betrayal. As ancient secrets threaten to slowly reveal themselves to the townsfolk of her town, Troy s secrets may prove too much for Tierra. Will this undead Romeo and Juliet survive the faults of their forefathers or will they be alone and truly dead?"
