It's easy to get caught up with bad-ass vampires, a killer love triangle, broken engagements, assumed clones, and enough sexual tension to drive anyone crazy. Moving past the sparkles and the vegetarian lifestyle, MORNINGSIDE shows vampires in a new light. Humanity believes them to be one thing, without any deviation-- the perfection of a human hunter. One woman is able to prove them wrong. Trapped between both the mortal and immortal realms, she becomes the line between humans and vampires, and both the differences and similarities they share. When her life is put at stake, the worlds begin to collide. Night falls across the town. When she is first turned, she assumes all is lost: her future, her social life, even the opportunity to one-day experience the release of death. But when she suddenly reverts to human form soon as her first immortal night comes to a close, it becomes painfully clear that she is no ordinary vampire. With nowhere else to turn, she finds herself at the mercy of the other vampires, and they do not hesitate to use her as an easy food source. Days later, as her excitement and adrenaline spikes, her thirst for blood returns. Neither she nor the other vampires know what to make of her condition. Is she a hybrid? A mutant? Without any clues to a cure, she is caught between two worlds, battling humanity and immortality. One day she is the hunter, the next day the hunted. She can't imagine her situation could get any worse, but soon a new threat emerges. A powerful vampire is after the secret held within her veins, and he will stop at nothing to get it.
