Bianca has been uprooted from her small hometown and enrolled at Evernight Academy, an eerie Gothic boarding school where the students are somehow too perfect. Then she meets Lucas. He's not the "Evernight type" either. Lucas ignores the rules, stands up to the snobs, and warns Bianca to be careful --- even when it comes to caring about him. But the connection between Bianca and Lucas can't be denied. Bianca will risk anything to be with Lucas, but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart…and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed.
