Until now, college has been fun and games—all girls and hockey, all the time. It's senior year, though, and I'm still undrafted and unsigned. If I plan to play professional hockey, I need to prove to my critics that I can be a leader and take my hockey game seriously. But that doesn't mean I need to get serious in my private life. As the team captain, I'm expected to compete in a campus dance competition, and I get partnered with Ivy Deveraux. She's beautiful, no-nonsense, hyper-focused on her dance career . . . everything I'm not.

On the ship the Elisabetha the vampires set sail for Hamburg, to save the Vamalias from the Redmasks. Alisa is discovered by a Redmask but manages to escape through the roof in the attic. In the street she is stopped by Hindrik, who came back to save her. Alisa meets the other Heirs when they arrive on the ship. The Heirs hear that they’re on the ship to start vampire school.

On the Elisabetha Tonka wants to snatch the Nosferas ruby from the Contessa’s neck. When Alisa gets back from town, she finds her friends in danger. She wants Tonka to take her instead of her friends. The Contessa promised Alisa’s mother to keep the Spark safe and tries to protect her and the other heirs. The Redmasks are coming. Alisa tells Lars she knows and trusts him.

Lars af Dracas overhears the Noaidi predict the future of all vampires; if the clans don’t reunite, they will go extinct. His father sends out a message to the other four remaining clans to join forces. On the mystical ship the Elisabetha, the other vampire clans come to an understanding. At the market Alisa’s fangs accidentally pop out and humans panic because she’s a vampire.

A teenage girl with my eyes and a familiar glare, strolls into my life and she's calling me Dad. Vanessa was my high school girlfriend and the smartest person I knew. She had a plan, a future, and she swore nothing would get in the way. Until she became pregnant. I thought we agreed on our plan. I sent her the money. Then she disappeared. Her parents told me she was in South America for a year. They told me she needed space. I never heard from her again.

Lillian came into my life swinging. Mistaking me for my abusive twin brother, she greets me with a swift kick to the balls and a busted lip. Then she really shakes up my world. She needs her job, but she needs a break just as much. And nothing silences my demons as efficiently as playing the hero. To protect her from my jerk twin—her boss—I take her on a business trip and quickly learn that she's different. Blunt. Honest. Intriguingly strange. I'm transfixed, so when she unknowingly sinks a multimillion-dollar deal, I don't speak up. Something my family won't forgive.

The Elders leave the heirs in the care of the Nosferas clan. Malcolm and Lars don’t really feel like going to school at all and sneak off. Making friends isn’t so easy for Alisa in vampire-school, and she keeps getting visions that make no sense to her. Dracula sees Alisa for the first time as the Spark connects them.

The ship is speeding for Norway; Alisa’s decision to free Calvina has turned for the worse. Alisa is to appear before the Elders to be held accountable for her actions. Nicu has to prove he can lead an army of Redmasks to serve Dracula. When they arrive in Norway, Lars hurries to the Noaidi. There they find that Alisa is the only one who can help Baron Magnus fight the silver in his body.

Alisa doesn’t agree with the Elders, who want to sentence Calvina for being Dracula’s Shadow and the danger she might become. Back in Italy, Dracula finds Nicu and offers to turn his mother back to normal if he helps him with his evil quest.

In the cave Alisa and the Heirs have to face the five dangerous tests of humanity. But the closer Alisa gets to finding the Knot, the more of her friends she needs to leave behind. Will she be able to get them back and who will stop Dracula from untying the Knot first?

Overflown with emotions Alisa has to confide in Lars and Ivy about what is going on with her. Inspired by the openness of Alisa, Ivy tells her about how she and her brother Seymour ended up on the ship. They know Tonka is on a mission to steal the rubies. Hindrik sends Raphaëla to check if the rubies are safe. They’re not. Raphaëla gets into a fight with Tonka.

Alisa and Nicu are in a police cell and Tonka burns the book on Dracula. Conte Claudio learns about the waitress that has been bitten in town. Contessa Viola goes to see if she can find this vampire, the Conte checks if all the heirs are on board and if no one has been drinking human blood. Lars sacrifices himself to get Alisa back on the ship without the others noticing. Alisa is thankful.

The Conte and Contessa do not want to believe Dracula is alive. He has been captured. Since Dracula and Alisa are connected by the Spark Alisa gets trapped into a coma. Lars is the only one who has the power to help Alisa. As Alisa awakes, she feels that most of the special powers have left her body. But she is alive, thanks to Lars.

Calvina wants Nicu to join her to a Redmask meeting. Reading her mother’s words Alisa’s world changes; she’s warned never to trust a Dracas. Lars wants to prove he can be trusted even if he’s a Dracas, but Alisa needs some distance and goes into town. The clan leaders find out that Dracula is alive. While Malcolm teaches the class about his power - controlling the weather - things turn into chaos.

Nicu and his mom also arrive in Italy. Alisa wants to find out more about Dracula and the Knot and goes to the library. Just as she finds a book on Dracula, she bumps into Nicu. They reconnect again. Since this was clearly meant to be, Nicu asks Alisa out to dinner. In the restaurant Tonka steals the book on Dracula from Alisa.

Alisa needs both Nicu and Lars to get to know the Redmasks’ plans. The other heirs train to form a strong front. It takes the clan leaders some time to get used to this new status quo on the ship. It takes the support of the Conte to convince the other clan leaders to do it their way. Nicu has to come face to face with his greatest nightmare. The race to the Knot is on.

Alisa, Lars and Ivy succeed in getting the book on Dracula’s history. They find out more information about Dracula’s long-lost love Elisabetha and what happened to her and Dracula. Dracula is on his way together, with his shadow vampire, to the Belov ruby of Russia. Tonka, who has an angry Dracula to please, tries to compel little Tammo in stealing a ruby from the Contessa’s neck.

Dracula turns the Innkeeper into his shadow vampire, so he must obey his every wish. Alisa is struggling in school as her special power - love - is made fun of in class. On her own she remembers her mother who loved her very much but who left her for an important cause. Hindrik urges Alisa to keep the Spark a secret and try to fit in. A strange girl and a wolf sneak onto the ship.

Tonka informs Dracula about Alisa and her friends. Excited about her new powers Alisa tries them out, much to the amusement of Lars and Ivy. Hindrik isn’t excited at all. Lars is spending more time with Alisa and Ivy and Malcolm feels neglected. Alisa feels she is a danger to everybody around her and wants to be out of their way. She sees no other way than to lock herself in a cage.

Alisa and Dracula are rushed on board of the ship. Both badly wounded and unconscious. What the hell happened to Alisa and her friends in the standoff against Dracula and his Upiry army? Lars feels he let everybody down, but Inger and Ivy try to convince him that he needs to be strong and find a way to get Alisa to wake up.
