To help Will Crumrin adapt to the mortal world after a hundred years in the twilight realm of faeries, big sister Courtney makes him a glamor charm that renders him the most popular kid in school. But he eventually finds popularity a prison in which he's surrounded by people who neither know nor care about the real him. When football star Ross, jealous of Will's friendship with outcast Tucker, bullies her relentlessly, Will decides to turn him in and give up the false popularity of the charm. But Ross retaliates against Will, prompting Courtney to take revenge using magic. But her activity draws the attention of Emil Gorka, an ancient, powerful vampire. Once driven into hiding by Courtney's former mentor, Uncle Aloysius, Gorka has reemerged in the guise of a corporate CEO. Everyone in town works for him, including Courtney and Will's clueless parents. But he wants Courtney, a powerful but inexperienced young sorceress, as his servant. And to save Will from his dreadful bite, she must surrender herself. Now only Will, with the help of his best friend Tucker, can save Courtney from eternal servitude to the undead monster and his unquenchable hunger for blood and power.
