The ancient vampire hunting order known as the Gwyliad Wriaeth has a dark secret. It's entwined so deeply in the order that very few know about it, but it threatens to unravel everything they stand for.

We are those who are to blame.

As each new student graduates from training they must take part in a ritual steeped in shadows and mysticism that has become the source of the Wraith's strength, speed, and longevity. Emily St. Louise--Saint to her her friends--is ready.

As the ritual begins, something goes terribly, terribly wrong. Saint becomes something more than human, more than vampire, more than Wraith.

Now Saint will shake the foundation of the Gwyliad Wraith on her search for truth. Buried somewhere in the academy's walls are answers... But to gain the truth, she must first loose everything.

Science Fiction/Fantasy author Terence West brings you the first thrilling novel from "The Wraith Chronicles."
