All Jordana wants is to be like her friends instead of her shapeshifter mother who died when she was a kid. So when a stranger claiming to be a scientist offers her a "cure," she jumps in with no questions. Christian, a shapeshifter who's mysteriously shown up at school to befriend her, is furious when he learns that Jordana is rejecting her kind. He doesn't trust the scientist, either, but all he can do is watch helplessly as the stubborn girl he's fallen for gets sicker and sicker. When Jordana finally realizes she is slowly being poisoned, she confronts the man who deceived her. He's not the scientist he claimed to be, but a powerful warlock. An antidote in his possession can save Jordana's life, but can she or Christian outwit the warlock in time?
