Can I read this book if I have not read the previous ones in the series?

This book is the sixth installment in the House of Night series and continues directly from the events of the fifth book, Hunted, making it necessary to read the preceding novels to understand the established character dynamics and ongoing plot threads.

Does this book feature a single narrator?

Unlike earlier entries in the series that primarily focus on Zoey Redbird's perspective, this volume introduces multiple points of view, incorporating chapters from several other characters to expand the narrative scope.

Synopsis

Zoey Redbird, the youngest High Priestess in vampyre history, has driven the dark immortal Kalona and her former mentor Neferet out of the House of Night, but both were only banished, not defeated. Kalona still haunts her dreams, a new prophecy warns her about the choices ahead, and she learns of a strange connection to A-ya, the woman once made to love him. With the Vampyre High Council about to hear Neferet's side, Zoey and her friends must follow their enemies to Italy.

Back in Tulsa, Stevie Rae holds the group's affairs together and keeps a dangerous secret of her own, while Aphrodite, Stark, Heath and Erik each face their own tangled loyalties. The story is told from several points of view as the circle of friends is pulled apart by jealousy, grief and the pull of the darkness beneath the city. Sixth in the House of Night series, it picks up straight after Hunted.
