Sucking blood is the least of Anson's problems... Life as a vampire at The Academy isn't all that bad for Anson, if you discount the daily beatings in Training and the fact that he hasn't seen his also-vampire girlfriend Poppy in weeks. While Poppy is in Retraining, Anson has been learning to be a good vampire, with the help of his warlock half-brother, Leo. But when Anson learns the truth behind his father's death, he vows revenge upon the leaders of The Academy. If he's going to take on the most powerful vampires in the country, he's going to need some backup - which comes in the form of a slightly psychotic vampire named Shard, a silent genius called Wilt, a bi-polar Irish-man by the name of Shaun and of course, Leo.
Anson and Poppy are separated when Poppy is sent to Retraining. Anson learns what it means to be a vampire and what he is capable of.
Poppy manages to get messages to Anson and vice versa when she is confined at the retraining school. They miss each other dreadfully and look forward to Poppy's release. Meanwhile Anson and friends are noticing odd things around the school and "masters". Things start to get interesting as people start to become closer as friends.
