Some call them tramps. In Greek, they are called vrykolakas, or vryks, which sometimes gets translated to freaks. They are the vampires of Athens, created centuries ago by the Maenads. They live in caves beneath the acropolis, without economic resources and according to rules imposed on them by the Olympians. They are forbidden from turning humans into vampires, which happens when all of the blood is drained; however, they are allowed to drink from a willing mortal. Some mortals are willing because a vampire bite will infect the body for six hours, and, during that time, the mortal has the powers of flight, invisibility, strength, speed, x-ray vision, and mind control. Such great power can become irresistible, though dangerous and addicting to mortals. As seventeen-year-old Gertie, studying abroad from New York, uncovers the unfathomable secrets of this ancient city, she unwittingly becomes a catalyst in an uprising led by Dionysus, the god of wine and lord of the vampires.

Falling in love was dangerous. Falling for a vampire could start a war.
Seventeen-year-old Gertie Morgan’s summer in Athens was supposed to be life-changing.
She just didn’t expect it to be supernatural.
When she meets Jeno—a breathtakingly handsome vampire with a mysterious past—Gertie is swept into a hidden world beneath the ancient city. His bite awakens something inside her: strength, confidence . . . and feelings she can’t ignore.
But Athens is divided.
Vampires and demigods have been enemies for centuries, and Hector—a fierce and loyal guardian with ties to the gods—warns Gertie that falling for Jeno could have devastating consequences.
Torn between two powerful boys on opposite sides of a brewing war, Gertie must decide where her heart truly belongs.
Because in a city built on legends, love isn’t just complicated—
It’s dangerous.
In this irresistible young adult paranormal romance set in modern Greece, passion and prophecy collide as one girl’s choice could change everything.
