This all-encompassing drive has given her the fuel she needed to survive foster home after foster home.But it’s been ten years since anyone’s seen a vampire, and Ava has lost hope that she’ll ever find one…until she stumbles across a hidden magic show where she witnesses impossible illusions. The magicians may not be the bloodsuckers she’s hunting, but Ava is convinced something supernatural is at play, so she sneaks backstage and catches them in acts they can’t explain.But they’ve been waiting for her.The magicians reveal they’re part of an ancient secret society with true magic, and Ava has the same power in her blood that they do.
