Aphrodite''s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey''s fate hangs in the balance. Three girls... playing with fire... if they don''t watch out, everyone will get Burned.

So...you''d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark''s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite''s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal. Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn''t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul? Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night Series, Tempted.

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 coming. Then he shows up as Neferet''s newest minion. Well, hell. Zoey and friends need a plan to put things right, and soon, if she can keep her head and her heart intact.

To prevent an alien invasion of Earth, Alexandra Patton is sent by the Time Raiders to 60 A.D. Briton to find a section of the Galactic bronze medallion and is torn about returning to her own time when she finds herself attracted to Caradoc, a Druid warrior.
