The Shifter is an immortal creature bound by an ancient spell to protect the kings of Samorna. When the realm is peaceful, she retreats to the Mistwood.But when she is needed she always comes. Isabel remembers nothing. Nothing before the prince rode into her forest to take her back to the castle. Nothing about who she is supposed to be, or the powers she is supposed to have. Prince Rokan needs Isabel to be his Shifter. He needs her ability to shift to animal form, to wind, to mist. He needs her lethal speed and superhuman strength. And he needs her loyalty—because without it, she may be his greatest threat. Isabel knows that her prince is lying to her, but she can't help wanting to protect him from the dangers and intrigues of the court . . . until a deadly truth shatters the bond between them. Now Isabel faces a choice that threatens her loyalty, her heart . . . and everything she thought she knew.

A vampire. A murder. A prophecy. I'm Emily Sanderson. I used to be an ordinary girl. Now I'm a vampire, living at Mistwood Academy, a school for supernatural teenagers. It's not how I pictured my life turning out, but I've made friends, and I'm doing okay in my classes. I know I'll figure things out. But then I'm attacked and everything changes. There are whispered voices. Threats. And dark magic. Something sinister is going on at Mistwood ... something that results in murder. Now I'm caught up in an ancient prophecy. A prophecy I need to stop before it's too late.

In 1980, two young mothers joined forces to create a positive hands-on learning environment for their three daughters and their friends and Mistwood Center for Education was born.
