|
Производитель: "Little, Brown and Company" `The door closed with a sickening thud of finality, shutting my friends out and leaving me alone with my enemy, a fallen angel, and the monstrous 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 fledglings in Tulsa`s prohibition-era tunnels. The not greatness continues. Zoey has some boy-thoughts to distract her, with a chance to make-up with super-hot-ex Eric. But thoughts of the archer that died, semi-permanently, in her arms also keep distracting her. Then he shows up as Neferet`s newest minion. Well, hell. Zoey and friends need a plan to put things right, soon, if she`s to keep both head and heart intact. - Not suitable for younger readers?

Phyllis Christine Cast[3] (born 1960) is an American romance/fantasy author, known for the House of Night series she writes with her daughter Kristin Cast, as well as her own Goddess Summoning and Partholon book series.[4]

Career
On her own, P.C. Cast is known for her Goddess Summoning and Partholon book series.[4] Her first book, Goddess of the Sea, was originally published in 2001, won the Prism, Holt Medallion, and Laurel Wreath awards, and was a finalist for the National Readers' Choice Award; her subsequent books have won a variety of prizes.[5]
In 2005, she and her daughter began co-writing the House of Night series.[6] In the wake of the current popularity of vampire fiction led by Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, the Casts' books have enjoyed substantial and increasing critical and commercial success,[7][8] and in March 2009, the fifth book in their series, Hunted, opened at number one on the best-seller lists of USA Today[9] and The Wall Street Journal.[6]
According to P.C. Cast, the concept for the House of Night novels came from her agent, who suggested the theme "vampire finishing school."[10] The books take place in an alternative universe version of Tulsa, Oklahoma inhabited by both humans and "vampyres" (Cast uses this alternative spelling in the books, explaining it as a choice she made "just 'cause I like the way it looks"[11]). The protagonist, Zoey Redbird, age 16, is "marked" as a "fledgling" and moves to the "House of Night" school to undergo her transformation.[4]
In November 2008, Variety reported that producers Michael Birnbaum and Jeremiah S. Chechik had obtained an option to acquire the motion picture rights in the House of Night series.[12]
Personal information
Born in Watseka, Illinois,[13] Cast lives in Tulsa, where she taught high school English[14] and where her daughter is a student at the University of Tulsa.[4]
Cast has been married and divorced three times. In June 2010, Cast wrote about her marriages and her current personal relationship with Seoras Wallace, a Scottish historian and chieftain of Clan Wallace, whom she met while researching her novel The Avenger.[15]
