Book 1 - Shades of Gray
When Patrick is murdered, Katelina is left with questions. Jorick, one of his so-called
friends, has answers of the darkest kind: Patrick was involved with - and betrayed - a
coven of vampires; vampires that may now be after Katelina.
The tale is fantastic, but the proof appears in a flash of fangs that Katelina and Jorick
only just escape. Taken to a secret mansion, she discovers horror in its halls and learns
the truth about her protector. Blood and destruction follow, and leave scars Katelina may
never heal from.
The disturbing opener to the Amaranthine series pulls Katelina into darkness that tastes
like fear and smells like blood, a world where night is eternal and vampires don't sparkle.
