The White City, 1893: In turn-of-the-century
Chicago, with the World’s Fair bringing bustle and
excitement to her home city, sixteen-year-old Emily
Wheiler should be reveling in her youthful beauty and
the excitement around her. But her whole life
changed when her mother died, leaving her to
be the Lady of Wheiler House. Her father, a powerful bank
president, is at the center of an important social hub
for the booming young city, and he needs Emily to do
everything her mother would have – to be a good
hostess
and make sure the mansion runs smoothly.
As
Emily uneasily tries to replace her mother, she also longs
for more… for love and a life of her own. When a
handsome young man notices her at one of her father’s
parties, it seems that her hopes may finally be coming true.
Until her father forbids her to see him – or any other man
–
and starts revealing a darkly violent side that even he
can’t understand.
At last, afraid for her life and
with nowhere to turn, Emily is Marked by a vampyre and
brought to the Chicago House of Night, where she begins a
magickal new life that should allow the wounds from her
past to heal. But as she gains strength, and a powerful
new name, she carries a dark need to wreak vengeance on the
man she trusted most.
From victim to High
Priestess, beautiful young woman to powerful seductress,
Neferet's journey begins in NEFERET'S CURSE...
