"A Ballerina Breathes Life Into a Vampire."

TWILIGHT meets VAMPIRE DIARIES meets CRAVE.

Kota Ahoka is a sweetheart caught in a nightmare. He's a newly transformed vampire -- something he's never wanted to be. An immortal monster has corrupted his soul. Born of the Cherokee Nation, Kota's tribe views life as sacred and death as unnatural taboo. Branded as a demon abandoned by the Great Spirit, he is exiled by his kind... outcasted forever.

But his family refuses to abandon him. Determined to reverse the curse, they begin a desperate search for a cure -- one that leads Kota straight to her.

? A ballerina with buried magic. A vampire marked by death. A fate written in fanlegacy.
Kayla Harris lives for the stage. A rising ballerina star in 1980s Chicago, she has it all -- best friends, a loving boyfriend, and supportive parents. Not to mention the glamorous life of living in a high-rise palace downtown.

But beneath her perfect world lies a legacy she knows nothing about: a bloodline tied to ancient Ethiopian sorcerers known as Spell Benders.

When she unlocks her prophecy, the question isn't whether she's the chosen one.
It's whether she was chosen for peace -- or destruction.

Will she walk in the light...
Or fall into the dark?

As the supernatural world crashes down around her, the rising of a mystical war brews. Magic and death, vampires and sorcerers.
