Shelve The House of Night Series: Books 1-12
The more a fledgling or a vampire defeats evil the more the tattoos on her body grow. Also, like many other vampire stories both the vampires and the fledglings fed on the blood of the human beings. The blood came from willing donors who had a connection with the vampire or fledgling. There are a number of events in some of the novels in the series that can help in analyzing the character of Zoey.
Awakened (
For instance, she does not know who she is in love with among four boys and whether she is attracted to Kalona or not. She also trusts her grandmother, Sister Mary Angela and a few friends and teachers. Tempted is another novel in the series that can help analyze the character of the protagonist well. The human challenges faced by the fledgling come in this novel.
Although they were taught a lot of things about life as a vampire through their sociology 101 course, they were not prepared for the life they got there. It is here that Zoey gets new friends, new love and a new life. Fledglings that die and then are later resurrected have their crescent tattoos turn red in place of the usual blue. Red fledglings appear to complete the change once they have made a choice to side with either good or evil, and their expanded tattoos are the same red. [b] The marking of a fledgling, and the consequent gifts received as part of being a vampyre, are considered to be gifts from the goddess Nyx, the Greek personification of the night.

At the moment there has been no casting yet although the outline of the movie has been completed. The authors of the book through their website announced an upcoming monthly graphic book that would be based by the Dark Horses Comics. The number of the books would only be five and will cover the happenings between marked and Betrayed. The perspective would be that of Zoey’s struggle to become a better leader of the dark daughters. This was, however, in 2011 and there has no reported progress thus far. The series has a strong religious setting, with both Christianity and the beliefs of the vampyres a common thread throughout.
In P. C. Cast's thrilling novel "Marked," sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird must navigate a dangerous world where vampyres exist and she has been chosen as one. Perfect for fans of paranormal romance and supernatural suspense. There are a number of themes that come from these books, one of the major ones being that of religion. Within their society, the goddess Nyx is a superior being who chooses Zoey to be her agent in the house. There are also significances between this and other religions.
Bans and Challenges
In the fictional world a small number of teenagers around the world can be turned into vampires. These vampires have some similarities between the conventional ones. For instance, the vampires hold most of their activities, including their classes, at night. However, unlike vampires from other stories, these do not die when exposed to the sunlight, they are merely hurt. A fledgling has a blue crescent shape on their forehead which separates them from vampires. Mature vampires have similar but extended marks and also can have tattoos anywhere on the body.
In the previous novels she banished an immortal being, a high priestess, saved the life of Stark and almost died herself. In this book she is confused about her love life and who she likes. She also faces dilemmas that could be regarded too minor for someone of her stature.
For instance, the meeting point of the mortals and the gods has to be sacred. In this novel a vampyre or a fledgling has to use a magic circle to either communicate with Nyx or to harness the energy of the elements for whatever purposes. Overall the book series has received good reviews, the series has reached number five in the childern’s bestseller’s list in the New York times.
Much of Burned takes place on the Inner Hebrides island of Skye, in the palace of Sgiach, the vampyre queen. According to Scottish tradition, Sgiach (usually spelled Sgathach) was a princess many centuries ago, who ran the best warrior training school in Scotland.[24] Princess Sgathach lived in Dunscaith Castle, which is today a ruin.
