Just before spending her sixteenth summer on Cape Cod, Sarah's boyfriend breaks up with her and, as a scientist whose focus is on winning a scholarship through her study of a comet, she designs an experiment to become more like her older sister to see if she, too, can be popular.

After discovering that she is a centuries-old vampire queen, teenaged Lenah faces a heartbreaking choice as a vicious new vampire queen arrives to wreak havoc among Wickham Boarding School's students and staff.

Lenah Beaudonte, a vampire whose humanity has been restored thanks to the sacrifice of her lover, Rhode, did not believe she would ever be sixteen or fall in love again, but she is having those experiences until her past comes back to haunt her.
