Zoey Redbird, High Priestess-in-training, tries to balance the affections of three guys while a warning weighs heavily on her to stay away from the evil immortal, Kalon, whom Zoey is destined to encounter if she wants to stop him once and for all.
After Zoey Redbird's soul is shattered, she contemplates staying in the Otherworld forever, and as Stark tries to find a way to get to her, Stevie Rae works to come up with a dangerous plan to take care of the problem herself.
After being accepted as a fledgling vampire at the House of Night prep school and receiving special powers by a goddess, sixteen-year-old Zoey Montgomery discovers one of her peers is misusing her powers and must decide what the right thing to do is.
Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is just settling in at the House of Night, a finishing school dedicated to training fledgling vampyres to become productive adults, when a series of murders targeting human teens is traced back to the school, forcing her to think about the connections that still exist between her old and new worlds.
Neferet's evil has been exposed and the High Council is no longer on her side. Darkness is breeding chaos at the House of Night and Zoey has seen something when she looked at the Aurox through the Seer Stone that she cannot explain.
After Kalona and Neferet are banished from Tulsa, Zoey Redbird is haunted by A-ya--the ancient Cherokee maiden who tempted Kalona--making her susceptible of seduction from the dangerous immortal; and meanwhile, Stevie Rae's secrets add strain to her friendship with Zoey.
Zoey, safe at home with her guardian warrior Stark, confronts new forces at work in the House of Night, including Aurox, a devastatingly handsome teenage boy, created by Neferet as her greatest weapon.
