Sensitive about her looks and part of the out crowd, she’s compelled to find out who she really is. She starts by psychically traveling into the past to ask her human father about her roots, rescuing him from the brutal Tanzanian gangs.

Having learned to use her powers to reach her aunt, an elder in an alternate arctic universe, she discovers the Goldens want her to join them in meditation, a ritual that replenishes their psychic powers.

Chastity has other ideas. She’s got a crush on Zander the quarterback of her high school football team who, once he graduates, has his heart set on joining the Dacon Clan of real vampires. She wants to bond with him in the ancient Golden ways, but these uncivilized habits have become taboo. She has to practice the jump and bite, never having learned, first, how to kiss.
