Dangers such as Sebastian, the mysterious young man that is caught in Violetta's orbit, but who is he, an ex-lover, a relative, or just a friend? Whoever he is, he suddenly makes Jasmine's life a lot more complicated, but then the real danger is revealed, a danger much closer to home. Jasmine is soon caught up in ancient mysteries she cannot hope to fully understand, mysteries of the blood.
