There is a world that runs parallel to our own, a world in which the souls of the damned are caged, where they are looked over by the Furies, and where they spend eternity in torment, mirroring the devastation they created when alive. Someone has opened the cage. The worst of terrors have crossed the barrier that separates our world from theirs, and the Furies send a great, albeit untested, warrior -- their only son, Alek -- to bring those souls back....

Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been marked as a fledgling vampire and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampire.

Fledgling vampire Zoey Redbird has managed to settle in at the House of Night finishing school where she feels like she belongs. But the unthinkable happens and human teenagers are being killed, with all the evidence pointing to the House of Night.

Zoey Redbird isn't sure who is a friend or enemy at the House of Night, but she knows that any secrets that she discovers must be kept from the other residents, while she must also deal with the further complication of having three boyfriends.

Zoey's adventures at vampire finishing school take a wild and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened.

Drastically altered after her fall, Neferet is now more dangerous than ever, and her quest for vengeance will wreak havoc on humans, as well as Zoey and her friends. Chaos is loosed in Tulsa and the House of Night is blamed.

Zoey worries about her brother using Old Magick while he is in his world, so she and her friends travel to an alternative version of the House of Night, where dangers take the form of friends, and allies are found in the strangest places.

Zoey and her friends face the ultimate battle with evil, which will determine the fate of the world, both human and vampire.
