Description
Lola Monteux, a treasure-hunting vampire, is betrayed by her crew and sentenced to death. Desperate to evade her fate, she embarks on a daring escape to a haunted island cursed for her kind. Her solitary mission: to unearth the fabled Well of Souls treasure, rumoured to bestow invincibility upon demons like her and grant her the freedom she craves.
But as Lola succumbs to the enchantment of the island, a powerful magic weaves its spell around her. She is inexplicably drawn to Gael, a local boy, and his group of misfit friends. Undercover as a teenager, Lola discovers the joys and vulnerabilities of her long-lost humanity, and begins to lose sight of her original mission-to secure her survival at any cost.
