Bianca Olivier, a shy girl with a hidden legacy, enrolls at Evernight Academy, a mysterious boarding school filled with secrets. There she meets Lucas Ross, a fellow outsider, and the two fall deeply in love—only to discover they are destined to be enemies. Bianca is the daughter of vampires, fated to become one herself, while Lucas is part of Black Cross, a group sworn to hunt her kind.
Their forbidden romance grows more dangerous as Bianca struggles with her identity and discovers a strange connection to wraiths, ghostly beings that threaten both humans and vampires. As Evernight Academy becomes a battleground, Bianca and Lucas flee, living on the run while hiding the truth of who—and what—they are. But secrets can’t stay buried forever, and both are forced to face betrayals, impossible choices, and transformations that change them forever.
The story builds toward a haunting conclusion when Bianca’s destiny takes an unexpected turn—she becomes a wraith instead of a vampire, while Lucas faces his own irreversible change. Together, they must return to Evernight Academy, now overrun by vengeful spirits, and confront the darkness threatening everyone. Love, sacrifice, and redemption intertwine as Bianca and Lucas fight to protect each other and find a place where they truly belong.
