Dark forces are at work at the House of Night, and fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird’s adventures at the school are taking a mysterious turn. Those who initially appeared to be friends are now revealing themselves to be enemies, while surprisingly, sworn enemies are turning into allies. So begins the gripping third installment of this "highly addictive series" (Romantic Times), where Zoey's mettle will be tested like never before. Zoey's best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to hold onto her humanity. Zoey doesn’t know how to help her, but she does know one thing—anything she and Stevie Rae uncover must be kept a secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity. Speaking of rare, Zoey unexpectedly finds herself in the even rarer position of having three boyfriends. Add a little bloodlust to the mix, and the situation is bound to spell social disaster.

It appears that the People of Faith—and Zoey’s horrid stepfather in particular—are growing tired of living side-by-side with vampyres. But, as Zoey and her friends often discover, things are rarely as they seem…
