Dangerous secrets come between Zoey and Stevie Rae, putting their friendship – and the House of Night – at great risk. Stevie Rae, with her super red vamp powers, thought she could handle keeping stuff from BFF, but her latest secret is in a new league. Zoey’s left wondering if she can trust the person she thought would always have her back. And she needs her friend – and boyfriends – like never before.

Zoey banished malevolent immortal Kalona from Tulsa, but the battle is far from over. He now seeks power at the highest levels, and the Vampyre High Council is falling under his thrall. Without Zoey’s help, the world could still burn in the fiery hell of Aphrodite’s visions. And will Zoey’s connection with A-ya, a Cherokee maiden who tempted Kalona in ages past, help or hinder her resistance to the dangerously seductive immortal?

Two girls walk a tightrope between good and evil. And their choices will see everything they love saved – or destroyed.
