Legend says long ago werewolves had traveled to Mira's small hometown to protect humans from vampires. But that's a fairy tale Mira had stopped believing in years ago. She'd stopped believing in a lot of things, after her mom left when she was thirteen.

Now, starting her freshman year of college, Mira just wants everything to be normal. And everything is-except for Julian, a mysterious boy with golden eyes, and a coldness directed at Mira for reasons she can't understand and he won't explain.

But when a Blood Moon rises, Mira finds herself caught in the middle of a long-standing battle, with Julian on the other side of the line. She discovers there's more truth to the old town legends than she could ever have anticipated-and her family's historic role in it will change her world forever.
