Save the Vampire, Save the World An ancient prophecy tells of one chance to prevent the annihilation of the Undead. Twins James and Brigit, part human-part vampire, believe that they are that chance. In truth, the key lies with reclusive – and mortal – Lucy.

If she fails, his race will die – and so will her heart. Is the power of love strong enough to save the world?
