by P.C. and Kristin
Cast
A House of
Night novella
Book Description:
A great
journey…
A new love….
A new love….
A dark secret
revealed.
Evreux, France, 1788: Before she is Zoey’s favorite professor and the House of Night’s powerful horse mistress… Lenobia is just a normal 16-year-old girl – with enough problems to last a lifetime. As the illegitimate daughter of a powerful baron, she has never quite belonged, and instead has to watch her spoiled half-sister, Cecile, get anything she wants. As if that’s not enough, her remarkable beauty draws unwanted attention wherever she goes. For once, she would like to just fit in.
But when
fate intervenes, Lenobia suddenly finds herself surrounded by other girls, on a
ship bound for New Orleans, where they will be married off to the city’s richest
Frenchmen. And they’re not alone…. An evil bishop who is skilled in Dark magic
makes the same journey. His appetite for lovely young women makes him dangerous
– most of all to Lenobia, who caught his eye back in France. So she remains
hidden, making secret visits to the ship’s stables, where a handsome young man
and his beautiful Percheron horses soon capture her attention.
Will they
make it to land before the bishop discovers her true identity and a powerful
evil breaks loose? And will Lenobia follow her heart, even if it puts lives at
risk?
Review:
I really enjoyed this novella, a lot more than the one featuring Dragon. Lenobia was an
interesting character and the Bishop was skin-crawlingly creepy.
There was an interesting storyline and it was really cool to see Zoey's favorite teacher as a young teen.
The love story was great and heartbreaking and tearjerking and totally fun to read. The time period was interesting and I loved that most of the story actually took place on a boat. I, of course, will also read just about anything related to New Orleans, so this book was also really exciting in that they are headed there and that Martin is Creole.

A definite must-read for fans of the House of Night series!
