Her name is Sofia .  Miguel and Sofia immediately feel an explosive and overwhelming attraction .  The presence of Sofia will also awaken unknown abilities in Miguel , both physically and mentally .  Though Miguel and Sofia do not know it , their destinies are connected .  Sofia is a vampire that belongs to the family of Hector , L dia , and the provocative Valentina .
