When the Mayflower set sail in 1620, it carried on board the
men and women who would shape America: Miles Standish; John
Alden; Constance Hopkins. But some among the Pilgrims were
not pure of heart; they were not escaping religious
persecution. Indeed, they were not even human. They were
vampires.
The vampires assimilated quickly into the New World. Rising
to levels of enormous power, wealth, and influence, they
were the celebrated blue bloods of American society. The
Blue Bloods vowed that their immortal status would remain a
closely guarded secret. And they kept that secret for
centuries. But now, in New York City, the secret is seeping
out.
Schuyler Van Alen is a sophomore at a prestigious private
school. Suddenly, when she turns fifteen, there is a visible
mosaic of blue veins on her arm. She starts to crave raw
food and she is having flashbacks to ancient times. Then a
girl from her school is found dead . . . drained of all her
blood. Schuyler doesn't know what to think. Could those
vampire legends really be true?
