Zoey needs a break after some serious excitement. Sadly, the House of Night school for vampyres doesn`t feature breaks on its curriculum - even for a High Priestess in training and her gang. Plus juggling three guys is no stress reliever, especially when one is a sexy Warrior so into protecting Zoey that he`s sensing her emotions.

She`s not exactly keen to meet up, but if Zoey don`t go to Kalona he`ll exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to...
