  to sunlight. But after a long sojourn in China, Ben realizes that the world he
  left behind hasn’t changed as much as he feared. He wants to leave his old
  life in the past, there’s one job remaining that just won’t leave him alone.

  world, and more than one vampire will be eager to test him.
  
  
  Ben and Tenzin need to work together if they want to find the truth behind
  Radu, his mysterious clan, and the treasure at the heart of the Dawn Caravan.
