Van has never met her grandmother, or any of her extended family before, so the last thing she expects is to be invited for a summer trip the day she turns 18. Now she's on her way to a world she never knew about, one that's just across the ocean and another through a doorway she didn't mean to walk through. Going home is now just a matter of mastering abilities she didn't know she had and learning to trust people she's only just met. All the while, a fairytale stalks through the darkness, hungry for mortal blood.
