Holly Brown may have a human body, but she knows she's a vampire. She was born into a long line of Vyvernault blood, but she's the first human offspring and the last of her family. When she is secretly admitted into her fiancé's vampire school, Holly has to keep her human status a secret, because it's not technically legal.
Her fiancé, Harold, helps keep her safe among oblivious vampires, but sometimes his love and temper can be more dangerous than the students. She's beginning to doubt the rationality of their betrothal.
As she imagines a world without him, Holly realizes that her taboo surname may hold the key to breaking out of the constricting human-vampire dynamic.
