Shocked at his discovery, Jonathan confronts his parents, who tell him the truth about their nocturnal life. Determined to fit into the daytime world, he convinces his parents to let him go to school and make friends. But it isn’t easy being the new kid—especially when your parents are vampires whose supplies from the blood bank are getting low. Maybe inviting his friends over wasn’t such a good idea after all.

Alguien lo mira desde la oscuridad y siente que el miedo se le mete en el pecho y lo oprime por dentro. ¿Es la Dama de la Selva de quien tanto le habla su abuelo?, ¿son los Púcari que vienen por él para convertirlo en uno de sus sirvientes sin ojos? No, es una joven que lo llama desde una pequeña barca. Aún no lo sabe pero juntos atravesarán la selva. Aquel recorrido estará lleno de riesgos escalofriantes, encuentros con misteriosos personajes y recuerdos, recuerdos sobre su madre que murió hace años.
