Shanntal is like any other teenager, except for the mysterious nightmares that seem to foretell a shadowy future. One night while playing with an Ouija board during a sleepover, Shanntal and her friend unwittingly summon Daray, a vampire who says they will soon be together. Visibly shaken, Shanntal has no idea that the cryptic message seemingly intended for her is just the beginning. When Shanntal returns home the next day, she discovers her family has been killed by mysterious bites. After moving in with her aunt and uncle, Shanntal eventually meets Jayce, an immoral who unveils a new realm and Shanntal's destiny. As she falls in love and befriends fairies, shape shifters, and others, she is hunted by an evil being as her past rises up and triggers her memory, reminding her that she is the one who can walk in both worlds. While Shanntal becomes torn between her love for Jayce and her loyalty to Daray, the two worlds hang on the precipice of change. Only one is the key to ensuring peace-if she is strong enough to survive. Escaped the Night is a tale of good versus evil as a teenager comes of age, learns her destiny, and battles to keep harmony in a paranormal world where only true love endures.
