At the turn of the eighteenth century, an almost-fourteen-year-old girl is attacked and exposed to vampyric blood. Tragically, the young man she loved has been killed and her own family is plagued by accidents until her father blames her and banishes her from her home in disgrace. Majken discovers her body is changing and she must now drink blood to survive. Alone, she adapts and makes her way to the coast and learns to survive in a tavern. Yet in a northern seaport town, the man who made her vampyric has spotted her again - and believes he must utterly destroy her to ensure his own safety. A man she remembers as a Beast.

Majken, a female vampyric person of indeterminate age, comes to Trenton seeking a new life. Appearing as a young woman, she chooses a college to live and a friendly young athlete to help her meet and select the people on whom she depends for fresh blood. Her boyfriend Thomas Kline does not know who or what she really is and falls in love with her student alias. But an obsessed blood donor, a killer vampyr in the city reigning terror, and an angry college professor trying to uncover her past makes it impossible for her to keep her secret and places her and Thomas in the crossfire where she must fight just to keep him alive.

Thomas, exposed once to Majken's blood during her fight with John to save his life, is becoming vampyric. Soon the symptoms are so bad he is unable to deny he is changing. As his naïve but brilliant sister Kimberly unearths what happened to him in Trenton, Jeanine, a young vampyric girl across the country, flees with the seven-year-old daughter of a blood cult leader to save her life; Nolan wishes to sacrifice his own daughter. Yet dangers abide in the darkness where Thomas is unaware. Once Thomas is entrapped with Jeanine and Alecia, Majken must pursue him into darkness itself to save him from the deadly blood cult leader.
