My whole world changed when I entered the academy. There is nothing wrong with this place or with other students. Here I’m just a mortal among the monsters. I still cannot decide which of these fighting factions I belong to, if any. I only know that they hate me.

Then there’s Jackson Vega. A deadly vampire who hasn’t felt anything for a hundred years. But there is something in there that calls me, something that is broken and somehow corresponds to what is broken in me.

What can death mean for all of us?

Because Jackson surrounded himself for no reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I wonder if I was brought here as bait on purpose..
