Welcome to Mystic Falls—where vampires prowl, founding families hide bloody secrets, and you are keeping the most dangerous secret of all: you don't even know what you are. As an orphan living at the Mystic Falls Youth Center under the watchful eye of your caregiver, Lucia, your life is already complicated enough trying to protect your younger sister, Maya. But lately, your body is changing. You feel an agonizing, electric pull to water, your skin shimmers under the moonlight, and your pulse sounds suspiciously like a crashing ocean tide. Normal humans don't turn into liquid trouble when they touch water. And worst of all? Damon Salvatore has noticed. Can you survive the vampires, protect your sister, and figure out what the hell is waking up inside you before it destroys you?
