But all is not what it seems with the ‘party girl heiress’.  Secrets can be dangerous.  She leads two lives: one in light, as a college freshman adjusting to the demands of higher education; the other in darkness as a Guardian, a warrior in an ancient sisterhood of vampire hunters. Trained to hunt and Terminate vampires who prey on the Innocent, Rachel is as dangerous as the things she kills.  Secrets can be deadly.  Faced with a growing threat from a rival group of vampire hunters called the Slayers and a mysterious drug turning rave goers into raging monsters, Rachel and the Guardianship have their hands full. When a new love comes into her life and her two realities threaten to collide, Rachel must step up and fulfill an ancient prophecy if she is to survive.
