Defeated by Zoey and her circle, Neferet manages to manifest her
consciousness into spiders. Power hungry and immortal Neferet gives
herself over to her vampyre hunger and drains the Mayor of Tulsa
(who happens to be Aphrodite's father) of his lifeblood leaving his
body devoid of life before fleeing the scene. Uncovered by his wife,
the mayor's death brings the House of Night to a standstill and
their already tenuous alliance with the humans of Tulsa wavers once
more. Lessons suspended until further notice, every vampyre and
fledgling is a suspect to murder. Unfortunately Zoey and her circle
know better, the work of Neferet is all too familiar but there is no
evidence for the Tulsa community. Zoey is stressing over the murder
while her circle is disrupted by the constant threat of Dallas and
his school yard cronies who are all the more dangerous now that
Erin, Dallas' girlfriend rejected the change. The drama continues
for Zoey when she begins to see more and more of Heath's soul in
Aurox (Heath was the lost lover) and Stark is becoming jealous of
Aurox/Heath and demands that Zoey stay well away. With all the
stresses of being an unusually gifted High Priestess Zoey is bound
to crack. But when she does, what will the repercussions be?
