After a year of preparation, eighteen year old Raven Smith has researched and planned out every detail of her summer vacation in Europe; those plans DO NOT include boys, romance, or falling in love (definitely not the last one). But, even before the plane touches-down her well-laid plans go dreadfully off-course. While still airborne, Raven finds a letter in her carry-on suitcase that her senile neighbor broke into her house to stash in her bag; the letter tells Raven to turn back, not to go to Europe, that an "evil agent of Hell" is looking for Raven and he will find her if she disregards the letter's message. But Raven does disregard the letter... Almost as soon as Raven steps foot onto Rome's streets, dark, seductive Andras starts showing up at nearly every site Raven visits; Raven finds herself drawn to Andras in a way she's never been drawn to anyone, while at the same time... he terrifies her. Then in comes Nicholas, an impossible-not-to-like Swedish guy, who is determined to keep Raven away from Andras... The two guys share a dark secret. Both are determined that Raven never learns the truth. She doesn't know who to trust, or if she should trust anyone. If Raven frees herself from the deception twined around her... the most horrifying secret she could uncover, might be her own... her past... who she really is...and how the forces of Hell plan to use her to destroy the future...
