When Hawaiian bats fall from the skies and humpback whales rot on Maui beaches in unparalleled numbers, two young scientists are sent to investigate. Anela, a Maui High girl, and Ian, a vampire on a mission, are thrown together to solve the mystery. Anela is drawn to the mysterious Ian, but her instinct tells her he's keeping secrets – secrets she's determined to uncover. Count Balan, the albino vampire who transformed Ian into one of the undead during the Middle Ages, is plotting to become ruler of both the living and the undead. The Count is following directions encoded in an ancient manuscript, The Book of Jashar, referenced in The Bible. He has created an army of dhampir, (half-vampire/half-human “day-walkers”) to do his bidding. When Anela learns Ian’s secrets, she offers to become his day-walker. The Book of Jashar holds the key to stopping the count. Ian and Anela must find it and decipher the code in time. Anela enlists the help of her high school friends. When Count Balan and his dhampir capture Anela and her friends, they join Ian to fight him with a blend of science, ingenuity and faith.
