Uprooted and moved across the country from Sydney to a seaside town in South Australia by her sea-changing parents shortly before her 16th birthday, Larissa meets Dante, a strange and beautiful young man with bewitching eyes who shares her love of surfing. They spend hours together at the beach, falling in love at first sight but Dante has a secret he needs to share before they can truly be together. Tragedy strikes just after her 16th birthday and soon Dante must make a choice that will change both their lives forever. Dante is not some tortured soul and Larissa is neither wallflower or victim. This is the first book in a series that has its beginnings in a beachside town in Australia, and chronicles an epic vampire/teenage girl love story full of drama, romance, tears & joy - a story that champions a strong and independent girl and her unconditional love for an unlikely hero.
