Book Synopsis

Can a prophecy of the world's end be undone--by a teenage vampire?

The Anointment is approaching, and soon Oliver will receive the power necessary to journey to Nexia and fulfill his terrible destiny. But that isn't what he wants--and he may have finally found a way to change his fate. Yet the toughest part for Oliver hits closest to home: Whom will he choose--his friends or his family? No less than the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

As powerful forces converge and sinister plots are hatched on all sides, Oliver, Emalie, and Dean race to pull off their dangerous plan. Nothing is certain--except that everything is about to change.

Review Quotes

"The underlying themes of being an outsider, learning to be a good friend and the quest to find a purpose in life will connect with readers." --The Courier (Ballarat)

About the Author

Kevin Emerson once competed in a beauty pageant and lost (probably because he was wearing a suit of armor). He is the author of twelve novels for teen and middle grade readers, including the Atlanteans series, the Exile series, and The Fellowship for Alien Detection. He is also a guitarist and drummer in two bands: Northern Allies and the Board of Education. Emerson once appeared in a Swedish television commercial, knows that bow ties are cool, and also knows that Pinkie Pie is the best MLP. He lives with his wife and two young children in Seattle, where the damp, gloomy nights inspired Oliver's story.
