Millenia ago, the vampire queen emerged victorious from a centuries-long war, but terribly wounded, and with her powers depleted. She went into immediate long hibernation. Her departure leaves her guards a monumental task: to protect her tomb until she wakes.
Forward to the present day, meet Mia, a teen seeking refuge from bullies in the very graveyard that houses the queen’s tomb. Her chance encounter with the enigmatic, red-eyed Blanca, marks the beginning of an unexpected friendship.
The vampire queen has risen, and her thirst for power knows no bounds. As she builds her army of the undead, Mia watches helplessly as her friend Quinn falls under the queen's dark influence.
In a desperate race against time, Mia must navigate a dangerous world of supernatural politics, ancient rivalries, and dark magic. As the final battle approaches, she'll discover that some sacrifices cut deeper than others, and that victory might cost her everything she holds dear.
