But Greg Marsten means life to her and she is willing to follow him away from everything she has ever known into a world where she believes true love is found. Greg is a vampire and Sarah is a Bloodchild, a person born with a condition that will lead to vampirism if it is not rejected or repressed. But Sarah's mother and some churches believe that Sarah is making a choice that will not only lead her to persecution by society but even damn her. When Andrew Devlin, a young college student, makes it his mission to save Sarah's soul he leaves her frightened and scarred by fire. When he returns twenty-five years later and Sarah is Greg's wife, can she finally extinguish her fear and convince Andrew that God has always loved her?
