There is a world that exists besides our own; a world where humans are myth.Virtue Nite lives in a world where banshees sing to welcome the new day, mermaids swim through clear waters, and fairies tend to vast gardens. It is a peaceful world, a beautiful world.A dark Guardian escapes from her prison. She releases her essence, a black mist, into the world that kills everything it touches.At the age of eleven, Virtue’s world crumbles when she witnesses the brutal murder of her parents by a pack of trolls who serve the mist. For five years she has been alone, the last survivor of her vampire village.She has been untouched by the mist because she is a Sacred One, a being born to fight against evil. As she struggles with her deep loneliness she is given a mission…reunite the lost gems and vanquish the dark Guardian forever. She agrees to the mission, not to save her world, but to avenge the deaths of her parents. Her quest for the gems will lead her deep into the Bleeding Forest where the trolls live and beyond to other evils that await a fresh meal. She will discover two other Sacred Ones on her quest; a girl of the sea and a boy of the future. Virtue must learn to trust or her mission for revenge will never come to be.
