Part of House of Night, book 4
First published 2009
Zoey Redbird thought she understood the rules at the House of Night vampyre academy. She was wrong. Friends she trusted now question her choices. Enemies reveal plans that threaten everything she holds dear. The vampyre world she entered as a confused fledgling has become a battlefield where nothing is certain. Alliances shift without warning. People she counted on turn against her. Others she dismissed prove their worth when it matters most. Zoey must decide who deserves her trust and who will destroy her if given the chance. The school that once felt like home now pulses with hidden agendas and deadly schemes. Every conversation carries weight. Every decision could be her last. As the fourth installment in her supernatural education unfolds, Zoey discovers that surviving vampyre finishing school requires more than mastering new abilities. She needs the courage to face hard truths about the people around her and herself.
