"A great journey... A new love... A dark secret revealed.
Evreux, France, 1788: Before she is Zoey's favorite
professor and the House of Night's powerful horse
mistress... Lenobia is just a normal 16-year-old girl - with
enough problems to last a lifetime. As the illegitimate
daughter of a powerful baron, she has never quite belonged,
and instead has to watch her spoiled half-sister, Cecile,
get anything she wants. As if that's not enough, her
remarkable beauty draws unwanted attention wherever she
goes.For once, she would like to just fit in. But when fate
intervenes, Lenobia suddenly finds herself surrounded by
other girls, on a ship bound for New Orleans, where they
will be married off to the city's richest Frenchmen. And
they're not alone.... An evil bishop who is skilled in Dark
magic makes the same journey. His appetite for lovely young
women makes him dangerous - most of all to Lenobia, who
caught his eye back in France. So she remains hidden, making
secret visits to the ship's stables, where a handsome young
man and his beautiful Percheron horses soon capture her
attention. Will they make it to land before the bishop
discovers her true identity and a powerful evil breaks
loose? And will Lenobia follow her heart, even if it puts
lives at risk? Find out more about one of your favorite
professors in the next heart-thumping House of Night
