One rainy night, 1881, eighteen-year-old Roselyn Joyce leaves the workhouse to visit her dying grandfather. Little does she know, her own life will soon be in jeopardy when she is set upon by a vampire. Lurking in the shadows is John Blood, another immortal. The choice is his. He can let her die there and then on the cold streets of London, or, with the curse of a vial, bring her into his world.
To John, the choice is a simple one, but as Rose wakes up to the stark reality of existing as a vampire, she has to come to terms with leaving her family behind and living a nomadic existence. The shy young girl from the workhouse is no more, and her strength of character is put to the test as she and John fight others of their kind for survival.
