Premise[edit | edit source]
Sixteen-year-old Ivy Morgan thought she was just another new transfer student trying to survive the social jungle of Saint Callum High. But when she crosses paths with Kal Vireon—a quiet but magnetic classmate who’s secretly a vampire prince hiding from a centuries-old war—she discovers she's immune to his mind control, and possibly something more.
Together, they unravel the prophecy of the Bloodmarked, a foretold human-vampire hybrid capable of destroying—or resurrecting—the ancient blood god, Vhaeron. As Kal and Ivy draw closer, a secret order known as the Crimson Sigil begins hunting them both, hoping to use Ivy to awaken Vhaeron and reshape the world.
