For years, the human and vampire residents of Morganville, Texas, have managed to co-exist in peace.

But now that the threat to the vampires has been defeated, the human residents are learning that the gravest danger they face is the enemy within.

With the vampires indulging their every whim, the town's human population is determined to hold on to their lives by taking up arms.

But college student Claire Danvers isn't about to take sides, considering she has ties to both the humans and the vampires.
