When Dr Jenn Hrluska comes home tonight, a life she has been building for ten years will begin to fall apart.
From the moment Jenn finds the body of a young woman sprawled across the threshold of her apartment - and thirsts for the still fresh blood - she knows she is entering a fight for her own survival. For Jenn Hrluska is not a normal human being: the white coat she wears each day covers a heart of darkness, a genetic imperative to feed on the blood of others or die.
Jenn is a hemophage, the lethal reality behind the vampire myth. Up till now she has defied her inborn urges. But her father is determined to stop Jenn perverting her destiny. Determined to persuade her to kill . . .
