I've lived so long in the shadows, can you blame me for not giving a rat's ass about humanity any longer? This lost village in the middle of the Carpathian Mountains is our latest hideout, lest the enemies of our royal bloodline find us again. And by us, I mean me and my five equally psychotic siblings-except, really, two of them are sweet as angels. Anyway. Da, we're vampiri. And not the sparkle and vegetarian kind, either. The last thing we should do is attract attention and risk exposing ourselves. But when my sister falls mysteriously ill, the only person who can help her out is the old healer in town. And when he turns up dead? That leaves me with his way-too-stubborn and modern daughter. Very daughter. I need Tassa to help my sister, but she's got questions of her own about her father's mysterious death, and our presence here. And an attitude to go with said questions, one that's reminding me what it's like to feel. How much can I reveal, without it affecting the rest of us? How much will she take, before running away screaming? And how long until I fall head over heels for her?
