Vampire Hearts #2

HE NEEDS TO GET STRONGER IF HE'S TO SURVIVE, AND THERE'S ONLY THING THAT CAN HELP HIM--BLOOD. With the deadly vampire hunting organisation, The Saints, increasing their efforts to eliminate all offspring of the great vampire courts, starting with the youngest of the Bathory sisters, the academy is on lockdown.But not all enemies are outside the walls, and history lives in the blood. As Alexander Augustine's legendary family story is unveiled, he begins to understand that in order to survive the present, he must embrace the past, and all the dark secrets that go with it; including his darkling origins, even if it means sacrificing the one girl who has promised him salvation. Inverted crosses are burning in the grounds and assassins are in the woods. Fear and rebellion are whispering on the wind. And, on the evening of the Night Court Masquerade, everything changes.
