Coming home after a near-death experience should mean peace, but for Edie, a deeper betrayal awaits. Just discharged from the secret Floor Y4, Edie expects a quiet recovery. Instead, she's greeted by a home violated and the crushing realization that her brother, Jake, has sunk to new lows, pawning her belongings to fund a dangerous, delusional experiment with drugs. Edie's body might be healing from a vampire bite, but her heart is reeling from this very human blow, making her safe haven feel anything but.
