Mercy knows what true pain is-she's lived with it since her high school graduation when someone drove a knife into her chest. She's taken comfort in knowing they're locked away, but now, months later, a new threat lurks in the shadows-a stalker-and he's watching her every move.
As she nears her eighteenth birthday, a series of strange events lead Mercy to discover a long-held dark secret that shakes her conscience and stirs a magic inside her. Her body heals at an unnatural speed, and a power ignites at her fingertips. She has no idea what's happening until a mysterious stranger, Caleb, comes into town, and reveals to Mercy a past life she can't remember-she's an ancient witch, vampires are real, and she is destined to destroy them.
As Caleb teaches Mercy how to harness her magic, a plan unfolds within Salem's most powerful vampire clan-and their leader, Maurice-is coming for her.
Mercy must fight to survive and release the dark power she was born with. Because to slay a monster, she must become a monster.
