   It was a flash in the moonlight, a blur of motion like I’d never witnessed before. 
   
   No human had the capacity to move like that. When I found myself face-to-face with him there in the meadow, I knew that the journal was authentic. I knew that my grandfather hadn’t been crazy at all. 

   Because a foot away from me stood a vampire.

   Sarah Wood reads her grandfather's journal in stunned disbelief. What was once her grandfather's responsibility has passed to her father and now to her. 
She has become the Warden. Her life will never be the same.
