It's scary to know the fate of the world lies in your hands--but even

It's the last night of summer and Oliver is hoping to have some fun with
his two best friends. Once school starts, he'll be one step closer to
receiving his demon . . . and fulfilling the prophecy to open the Nexia
Gate.
Meanwhile, a series of gruesome animal attacks on humans has threatened
to expose the vampire world. The evidence points to Oliver's brother,
Bane, who has recently acquired Occupying power--the ability to inhabit
animals. Yet Oliver, Emalie, and Dean suspect something else is going

mystery surrounding his human parents. Bane may hold the key to Oliver
uncovering his past and changing his future--if the Half-Light
Consortium doesn't get to him first.
