Elaine Melton belongs to a clan of witches, but she herself doesn’t realize it yet. Her life takes place in a magical house where she lives with her aunts, and at a café on the corner, where she works serving customers excellent tea prepared according to family recipes. Various mystical creatures live in her city, such as sirens, harpies, and vampires, who are able to control their nature. But this balance is very fragile, and one mistake can destroy it.
One day, a woman dressed in blood approached Elaine’s house, and the next day her murder shook all of Hungary. The vampire clan intervened in the situation. To ensure Elaine’s safety until the investigation is finished, she was housed in the castle of the vampire lord De Colbert. Elaine believes she is safe here, but soon she finds herself pulled into court intrigues and unfair games—and she feels growing sympathy for the young vampire Matéush.
