Kristin is een bestsellerauteur die haar passie voor verhalen opnieuw ontdekte in de stoffige boekwinkels en de gammele stoelen van oude koffiehuizen. Ze schrijft de verhalen die ze al zo lang ze zich kan herinneren sinds 2005 op, waarbij ze zich richt op haar fascinaties.
A dark angel has taken over the House of Night, supported by High Priestess Neferet. This leaves Zoey hiding out with the (supposedly friendly) red fledglings in Tulsa's prohibition-era tunnels. Zoey has some boy-thoughts to distract her, with a chance to make up with super-hot-ex Eric. But thoughts of the archer that died, semi-permanently, in her arms also keep distracting her. Then he shows up as Neferet's newest minion ..
Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night series, where vampyres have always existed. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is a typical teenager facing high school challenges: her boyfriend Heath, who seems more interested in partying than football; her nosy frenemy Kayla; and an upcoming geometry test. Suddenly, her life changes when she is Marked as a fledgling vampyre, leading her to leave her ordinary life and join the House of Night, a boarding school for training future vampyres. However, not all who are Marked survive the Change. As Zoey navigates her new reality, she learns she is special, chosen by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. Alongside her newfound powers come bloodlust and an unwanted Imprint with Heath, who struggles to accept her boundaries. Additionally, Zoey discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's elite group, is misusing her gifts. Faced with these challenges, Zoey must find the courage to embrace her destiny, relying on her new vampyre friends for support.
