Publisher's Synopsis
"It's like being the heir to a throne. If I don't pick up the mantle, then nobody else will."
As the latest in a 250 year-old line, vampirism has always been normal to Hanna Bernstein. She and her father are the bearers of Die Gift: a collection of unpublished theses detailing the most secret and mysterious condition in history. But even she is unprepared for the twisted world of demons which threatens to swallow her. When she breaks her family's legacy to save the life of an old friend, she inadvertently catches the attention of a dangerous enemy. Forced to abandon all she knows and go into hiding in Switzerland, Hanna's decisions will matter more than ever before. It will take all her courage and knowledge to protect not only herself, but everyone she loves.
