Marked : A House of Night Novel
Cast, P. C. New York : St. Martin's Griffin, 2007.
The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old
Zoey Redbird's world, vampires have always existed. In this first book in the
series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the
Change, she will train to become an adult vampire--that is, if she makes it through
the Change. Not all of those who are chosen do. It's tough to begin a new life,
away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average
fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampire Goddess, Nyx. But she is
not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers
that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite club, is misusing
her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace
her destiny--with a little help from her new vampire friends.
