Teenage Ellen McCauley wants to escape her demons, namely a step-mother named Helen the Horrible and a reputation as the school klutz. A fall down the stairs, in front of the entire varsity football team…while wearing pink polka-a-dot underwear, earns her the nickname “Klutz-Ellen”. So when outdoor-loving Ellen finds a job as a nature counselor in the Adirondack Mountains, it spells escape.

A winter wedding in the Adirondack Mountains. How romantic! Until a blizzard descends, dumping more than seven feet of snow, marooning Ellen and Vic in their remote Adirondack camp. Snowbound with a man who is a 12 on a scale of one to 10? Every woman's dream - except, there's no water or electricity and scant food supplies. To make matters worse, mysterious tracks appear in the snow, ghostly apparitions wearing ski hats haunt the woods, and guests arrive, uninvited, on dog sled!

Who are the near-mythical people called the Jindentors? Trezlandians and traders from the neighboring countries of Vindor and Binrom call them the Invisibles or Melting Ones and believe they can turn into rocks, trees, or birds of prey. A few whisper they are descendants of time-travelers. Many who trade with the Jindentors want to find the source of their healing silver water and the location of their silver mines. As war with Vindor and Binrom looms, Trezlandian King Laydor needs the Jindentor skills and tactical knowledge that saved his father’s kingdom four decades earlier.

The world calls him vampire. But that’s not who I know. He’s my fellow patient at Crimson Hollow, a facility for those infected with the vampire virus. He’s lived for more than a century and been called many things. Vagabond. Circus freak. Prisoner. Murderer. Now he’s the world’s most famous person. He receives blood transfusions to stay conscious and rarely leaves the facility. He’ll never be free. Except in death. And that was what he wanted...until I arrived. All I wanted was a cure. I wasn’t planning to fall in love.
