Only sunlight can save us. We built the wall to keep them out, to keep us safe. But it also makes us prisoners, trapped in what's left of our ravaged city, fearing nightfall. After the death of my parents, it's up to me-as the newest delegate for humanity-to bargain with our vampire overlord. I thought I was ready. I thought I knew everything there was to know about the monsters. Then again, nothing could have prepared me for Lord Valentine ...or his son. Maybe not all vampires are killers. Maybe it's safe to let one in. Only one thing is certain: Even the wall is not enough. A war is coming and we cannot hide forever.

Reviews
"This new twist on the vampire genre is action-packed and full of plot turns. The main characters are compelling, and the love triangle...adds to the suspense and intrigue. A satisfying read with a cliff-hanger ending that leaves readers thirsty for more." -- School Library Journal "J.A. London takes the reader into a vampire world different from most." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
