ItÂ’s another sucky year at Bathory High for Vladimir Tod. The evil vampire DÂ’Ablo is hunting for the ritual that could steal VladÂ’s powers. His best friend Henry doesnÂ’t want to be his drudge anymore.
And as if all that werenÂ’t enough, itÂ’s getting harder for Vlad to resist feeding on the people around him. When months go by with no word from Uncle Otis and DÂ’Ablo shows up demanding VladÂ’s fatherÂ’s journal, Vlad realizes that having a normal high school year is the least of his concerns. Vlad needs to act fast, and even his status as the Pravus wonÂ’t save him this time .
