Could Maura's life get any worse? ...turns out it most certainly can.
When a cruel prank nearly claims Mauraโs life, one of her classmates, Ron, rushes to her rescue. Darkly handsome & mysteriously accepting, Ron doesnโt seem to want to stay away, but Maura is reluctant to get too close, since her mother has announced sheโs moving the two of them to Vancouverโฆnearly 3,000 miles away from their hometown of Indiana, Pennsylvania.
If life wasnโt already challenging enough, Maura begins to experience bizarre, physical changes her mother seems hell bent on ignoring, compelling Maura to fear for her own life. Vicious nightmares, blood cravings, failing health and the heart-shattering loss of Ronโas well as the discovery of a tangled web of her own mother's liesโbecome obstacles in Maura's desperate quest for the unfathomable truth she was never prepared to uncover.

Maura finally found the truth she was always seekingโฆor has she?
Tragedy seems to stalk Maura, and those around her, as she stumbles along, altering the young changelingโs family, just when they have all come back together. The changes left in its wake could be for the better, or may threaten their existence, entirely.
With the arrival of Christmas comes the opportunity for Maura to draw close to everyone she lovesโand finally reunite with Ron, the man she loves. But permanence has always eluded her, and in her current state of flux this pattern endures, as fate seems intent on snapping the threads that bind her to those she holds most dear. Maxwellโs good intentions pave a road for Maura, littered with misery, while her mother, Caelynโs, desire to shield her family from pain may tear her away from them, altogether. The perfect happiness in the young vampireโs grasp is so easily swept away and dragged under, out of reach. Can Maura erupt from the darkness and confusion to break the surface and find the life sheโs always dreamed of?
Riptide: Betrayal of Blood

Aldivaโs wrath calls forth other members from both Vancouver covens, forcing them to rush to Mauraโs aidโeven though her father, their king, has expressly forbidden the other vampires to initiate contact with his daughter. Will her extended family on Vancouver Island obey, abandoning Maura to her doom, or will they instead rebel against Maxwellโs wishes in order to save her life? Can she be saved or will the riptide drag Maura underโฆalong with those she loves the mostโฆ
