The door closed with a sickening thud of finality, shutting my friends out and leaving me done with my enemy, a fallen angel, and the monstrou bird creature his ancient lust had created. Then I did something I`d only done twice before in my entire life. I fainted.

It`s all happening though Zoey Redbird wishes it wasn`t. She has her friends back, which is great. But a dark angel has taken over the House of Night, supported by High Priestess Neferet. Not so great. This leaves Zoey hiding out with the (supposedly friendly) red fledglights in Tulsa`s prohibition era tunnels. The not greatness continues.

Naturally, Zoey also has boy issues to stress her out, with a chance to make up with super-hot-ex Eric. But thoughts of the archer that died, semi-permanently, in the arms keep distracting her. Then he shows up as Neferet`s newest minion. Well, hell. Zocy and friends will need a plan to put things right, and soon, if she can just keep her head and her heart intact.
