A stunning deluxe edition of Marked, the legendary worldwide phenomenon! This paperback edition features beautiful sprayed edges with stenciled artwork and a stunning new cover. This is a gorgeous collectible perfect for the long-time fan or new House of Night reader.
Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night series by bestselling authors P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed.
Remember, darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good.
Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is Marked as a fledgling vampyre and sent to the House of Night where she'll either complete the Change or die.
Zoey arrives with something no one else has--she's been chosen by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. The magick running through Zoey is rare, volatile, and impossible to hide. Along with this newfound power comes a bloodlust she struggles to control and a supernatural bond tying her to her human ex-boyfriend. As Zoey navigates ritual, rivalry, and a school obsessed with status, she begins to see the truth beneath the glamour.
The Dark Daughters, the House of Night's most elite inner circle, are far more dangerous than anyone admits. And they're twisting their Goddess-given gifts into something unrecognizable.
With her new fledgling friends at her side and enemies closing in, Zoey must decide who to trust, what to believe, and whether destiny is something to fight for... or run from.

"The Casts, mother and daughter, have written a delightful book that's aimed at teens but will be enjoyed by readers of all ages. The trials of growing up are presented in the new and original context of a vampire society, and they're woven into a thoroughly entertaining story. Zoey is a dynamic and spunky heroine who has an amusing and realistic voice. She's surrounded by secondary characters who are just as engaging. The dialogue is sharp and the references to real people and pop culture add to the story. This promises to be a highly addictive series." ―Romantic Times
"This is a series that should not be missed!" ―EnchantingReviews.com
"The Casts have put a very interesting new spin on vampire lore. The action is fast paced and absorbing, interspersing light moments among the intensity. When you reach the climax of the tale, you'll be on the edge of your seat. Though this is labeled a young adult novel, I strongly suspect adults of any age will enjoy it." ―Huntress.com
