Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night, a world very much like our own, except here vampires have always existed. 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. That is, if she makes it through the Change - and not all of those who are Marked do. It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no ordinary fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampire Goddess Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powers, but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortunate ability to Imprint her human ex-boyfriend. To add to her stress, 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 group, 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.
В обычный будний день Зои Монтгомери после уроков собиралась поехать домой, чтобы подготовиться к контрольной по геометрии. Скорее всего, главная героиня последовала этому плану, если бы у шкафчика ее не встретил Ищейка, вампир из Дома Ночи, и не поставил бы Метку — синий полумесяц . Теперь девушке предстоит сделать очень непростой выбор: стать вампиром и пойти учиться в школу для вампиров «Дом Ночи» или… умереть. Зои Монтгомери уходит из дома и оставляет друзей, чтобы стать вампиром.
