'Love is the very food of life–or the death of it. Alana’s life changed forever the night she learned the dark and seductive truth of blood–and those who crave it.
'So far, she has managed to keep the secret from her mother, but her increasing involvement with the immortals has brought many things into her life. But the price she must pay for the thrill of an intoxicating romance with Christian may be higher than she can bear. Her life now is tinged with fear and danger, as well as a love that could span the centuries.
'Desperate after being hunted by the hideous Restless, Alana accepts the invitation from the ancients of the Other Forest. In their protection lies her only hope for survival, but that hope is short-lived. The ancients need her help.
The more willing Alana is to help the ancients, the more she is drawn into their lives and terrors. Soon, she will learn the mystery of her own ancestry–and that knowledge will haunt her. Alana is given a dangerous task on the White Mountain–a realm of dark forces where she battles both life and death.
'Only time will tell whether the Restless and the renegade vampires that allied with the Dark Forces will be able to stop Alana’s quest. With his immortal powers distorted by the dark, Christian may not be able to protect Alana from the wrath of the witch–or himself from the murderous intentions of a rival.' (Publication summary)

'Concealed from the dark, the shadow waited outside the theatre. After a while, the shadow moved swiftly away from the building as the two figures walked towards their car.
'Okay. Go now and leave her be. Leave her alone; it’s for the best, his mind screamed at him. But he couldn’t just yet. Like a predator, he stayed and watched.
'The boy studied the girl in front of him. Yes, she was scared of him. Didn’t he hear her heart accelerate? The girl did not look at him for long but kept her eyes on the ocean. If she was scared, why then were her eyes sad and not petrified? The big rock they were on had concealed them from the passersby and motorists. He could easily crush her and no one would notice until the next day. His smile was feral.
'Alana was intrigued by the mysterious young man that spoke briefly and coldly with her. She become obsessed with finding out about him, and by the time she thought she knew him, it was too late. She was in the labyrinth with her own pursuit.' (Publication summary)
