Camdeboo Nights — Nerine Dorman

Helen Ashfield's world is about to be turned upside down. Is she ready?

Helen Ashfiel's life is complicated. Not only must she adjust to her parents' divorce, but she has to come to grips with her new school in the small South African Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet. She's sorely mistaken if she thinks she's going to slot seelessly into her new life. Her growing magical powers have attracted the unwanted attention of Trystan, a vampire, who may not have her best interests at heart.

Outcast from his kind for drinking another vampire's blood, Trystan has been on the run for almost a hundred years from Mantis--the closest thing their kind has to an enforcer. All Trystan wants is an existence of quiet anonymity, but Helen turns his world upside-down.

Helen's powers also mark her as one of Mantis' targets. If Mantis gets control of Helen, she'll change the course of history...for the worse.
