author: Ballinger, Chelsea
description: My name is Jericho Evans. I'm twenty one years old. I have no friends, no girlfriend, and no family. And I'm dying. These are the things Jericho has been telling himself every day since he was diagnosed with stage four Leukemia. His whole life, Jericho has felt alone and different from everyone else. Born in the woods and abandoned by his family with only a name tattooed on his arm, Jericho knows nothing of who he is. That all changes when he meets Mathias, a stranger who claims to have all the answers for Jericho and the truth of whom and what he truly is. Soon Jericho is thrown into a shadow war between vampires and discovers the real reason why he has always felt different. With the help of Mathias and his tribe of vampires including the mysterious and beautiful Sky, Jericho will rise and become the person he was meant to be.
