  Welcome to Blackwood Farm: soaring white columns, spacious drawing rooms, sun-
  drenched gardens, and a dark strip of the dense Sugar Devil Swamp. This is the
  world of Quinn Blackwood, a brilliant young man haunted since birth by a
  mysterious doppelgänger, a spirit known as Goblin, a spirit from a dreamworld
  that Quinn can't escape and that prevents him from belonging anywhere. When
  Quinn is made a vampire, losing all that is rightfully his and gaining an
  unwanted immortality, his doppelgänger becomes even more vampiric and
  terrifying than Quinn himself.
