Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old Ethan Cole can sleep through anything — the shouting downstairs, the slow collapse of his family, the small-town life closing in around him. The only place that feels like his own is the ruins of Mooncrest, a dead amusement park where the ferris wheel is a rusted skeleton and the night belongs to no one.

Until 1:15 a.m., when the night belongs to her.

In the moonlight she kneels over a body, red hair falling to her waist — beautiful beyond reason, and monstrous in the same breath. Eleanor von Carstein is three hundred years old, a weapon of the vampire council on a mission she no longer believes in. Witnesses die. That is the rule. Instead of killing Ethan, she spares him — and the next morning she walks into his school and sits three rows away, watching him like a question she cannot answer.

What grows between them is impossible, forbidden in both their worlds, and utterly real. But Ethan carries a bloodline the old world has spent centuries hunting to extinction, and the council that made Eleanor is done waiting. When the hunters come for Graymoor, their only road runs north — through border stations and borrowed names — toward a dawn they were never supposed to see.

She fears the sun. He is the reason she is learning not to.

The sun is coming. It will decide what they both become.
