Rae Carson is a drifter. She never stays in one place too long, she has no known family, and no friends. She's also stunningly beautiful, slightly cockly, and is holding on to a huge secret. Roman Godfrey is a player. Everyone knows his name. Every girl wants to be with him, and every guy is slightly jealous or afraid of him. When Rae arrives to Hemlock Grove just after the murder of a teenage girl, all suspicion lies on her, especially from Roman. But as the two get to knoe one another, and fall deep into a murder mystery, their lives begin to completely change.
