Grad student Amelia Lockhart has lived in New Orleans her entire life. Growing up alone in the worst part of the city, she learned the only person she can depend on is herself. Her luck seems to change when she scores the perfect apartment in the heart of the French Quarter for a steal. It seems too good to be true, and she soon finds out it is.
When Harrison Chamberlin, one of the oldest and strongest vampires in the city, saves Amelia's life, he opens his home and library to her for as long as she needs. As she's thrust into a world of vampires, werewolves, witches, and imagination, she soon questions everything she's ever known about New Orleans, life in the French Quarter, and most importantly-herself.
