In 1874, in the wake of the War, erasure, trauma, and namelessness haunt civilians and veterans, renegades and wanderers, freedmen and runaways. Twelve-year-old ConaLee and her mother, Eliza, who hasn't spoken in more than a year, arrive at the Trans-Allegh­eny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia, delivered to the hospital's entrance by a war vet­eran who has forced himself into their lives. There, far from family, a beloved neighbor, and the mountain home they knew, they try to reclaim their lives.

Marcus is a young man, full of life and innocence, yet his homelessness cast a spell of yearning for adventure and a better life. He wants that adventure and to return to a normal life someday...but that day isn't today. Eliza, a beautiful vampire, seduces him into a world like no other. Their young love and hunger drive them together and also pull them apart. Marcus ventures out on his own as a newborn vampire and experiences all the emotions of rage, anger, love, and lust in order to become the man he is today.
