Saved by a mysterious warrior, Nick is sucked into the realm of Dark-Hunters – immortal vampire-slayers who risk everything to save humanity – and he quickly learns that the human world is only a veil for a much larger and more dangerous one that’s filled with all kinds of evil. Nick knows he’s in real danger and he soon has a lot more to deal with than high school – all without getting grounded, suspended...or killed.

            Synopsis
Sage, Dill, Willow and identical twins Flora & Fauna Harper are half-breeds. With one parent human and the other faery, they don’t fit into either realm. The faery realm is known for its trickery, but in an act of good will, each child born of the human-faery union were bestowed one magical ability. Since their magic is unpredictable—although it does seem to increase when they’re flustered—finding love just became a whole lot harder: throw in a series of normal life complications and work conflicts, and suddenly their faery “gift” feels more like a curse.
