Bianca and Lucas have escaped Evernight Academy, the vampire boarding school where their forbidden romance began. They seek safety with Black Cross, a militant organization dedicated to hunting vampires. Bianca must conceal her supernatural nature from these fanatics who would kill her without hesitation. Their fragile sanctuary crumbles when Black Cross captures Balthazar, Bianca's vampire friend. She can no longer remain hidden while he faces destruction. Bianca and Lucas flee again, now hunted by both the vampire hunters of Black Cross and the influential administrators of Evernight Academy. Distance offers no protection from the forces pursuing them across the landscape. Bianca carries a destiny she cannot outrun, no matter how far they travel together. She has always trusted that their love could overcome any obstacle, but the approaching crisis will test that faith beyond anything they have faced before.
