In the hallway after school Zoey is Marked as a fledgling vampyre and must now move to the House of Night, a vampyre training school that will help her as she transforms into an adult vampyre. Unfortunately, no amount of training will help her if her body rejects the change. Rejection of the change is not rare and leads to death. Luckily for Zoey, she isn’t your average fledgling. Chosen as special by Nyx, the vampyre goddess, Zoey is given powers that are unheard of for fledglings and for most adult vampyres.
