Foreign exchange student Lucius wreaks havoc on Jessica's once-normal adolescence when he reveals that she's a vampire princess betrothed to him since birth. After trying to resist her attraction to Lucius, Jessica finally steps into her royal role--and the dangerous world of vampire politics. Despite an underwhelming ending, the mixture of teen romance and exotic supernatural peril is bewitching.
