Seventeen-year-old Justin's anemic blood is a blessing. Or a
curse. It all depends on who you ask.
To most of the immortal Vie, his blood is a scourge:
untouchable and useless. To some Vie, his blood is a drug. To Justin, it’s
something that gets him in a lot of trouble. Being poisoned by a Vie is just

prisoners, at risk of being drained by a hungry Vie any moment. When she risks

Saving what's left of humanity.
Saving his sister. Saving the girl he loves.
Or sticking a stake in Alex’s chest.
Justin can't decide which option will get him killed first.
