The White City, 1893: In turn-of-the-century Chicago, with the World’s Fair bringing bustle and excitement to her home city, sixteen-year-old Emily Wheiler should be reveling in her youthful beauty and the excitement around her. But her whole life changed when her mother died, leaving her to be the Lady of Wheiler House. Her father, a powerful bank president, is at the center of an important social hub for the booming young city, and he needs Emily to do everything her mother would have – to be a good hostess and make sure the mansion runs smoothly.
As Emily uneasily tries to replace her mother, she also longs for more… for love and a life of her own. When a handsome young man notices her at one of her father’s parties, it seems that her hopes may finally be coming true. Until her father forbids her to see him – or any other man – and starts revealing a darkly violent side that even he can’t understand.
At last, afraid for her life and with nowhere to turn, Emily is Marked by a vampyre and brought to the Chicago House of Night, where she begins a magickal new life that should allow the wounds from her past to heal. But as she gains strength, and a powerful new name, she carries a dark need to wreak vengeance on the man she trusted most.
From victim to High Priestess, beautiful young woman to powerful seductress, Neferet's journey begins in NEFERET'S CURSE...

Waited a long time for this to come out. For this being about Neferet, a major HoN character I expected more. Dragon's Oath and Lenobia's Vow were both much more entertaining and informative about two professors that hadn't had nearly as much of a role in the HoN series. Every page was a turner solely for the fact that I was anxious for the story to take off. Unfortunately this book was a lame duck in my opinion, like lighting a firework and standing back waiting for a dud to explode only to realize it isn't going to happen. I'll still continue to read the series as I have found it enjoyable, however this book was a miss.

I have loved reading the short novellas and this was no exception.It gave a spin on Neferet that makes you hope that some way she may find redemption. this my not be popular with some readers but I sure hope she does.

House of Night series is awesome! I have read everyone and getting ready to read this one. By the time this series ends I hope Zoey defeats Neferet for good. I would like to see her matured into who she should be. Love reading each book! Thank you PC Cast.

If ur a true house of night fan, then you must read Neferets story. Its very sad and does explain how she came to be how she is. Ir's a very short story, only 114 pages, but it's good. So that's the only thing i can say bad about it, is that it costs as much as a full length book. Reader beware, there is graphic abuse and not recommended for under 16.

The writting was good, but I purchase the book thinking it was more of the House of Night theme... Just Neferet's story as a vampire.... Not Her Human story with the abuse storyline.... sadly disappointed since I love all the other books.

This was a great back story and gives a lot of insight to the character of Nefert and how she got her name. It explains a lot of how she became the person she is now in the series, another must read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a little insight into the series.

If you are a fan of the house of night series you will love this book not only will you learn Neferets back story and why she is the way she is, you will fall in love with series all over again. it shows another side of the story and makes you want more. Neferets, ending is tragic, but it makes you question yourself. What would u have done if you were in her shoes? Would you have done the same as her and forever changed? And as always i recommend you pick the house of night series and fall in love. Be careful u just might get addicted like the rest of us! Ps. Sor for the first post im to fast for the nook keypad.

This is not a book, as a teacher I would let my students read. It is disturbing. I saw the end coming way before it did. It explains Neferet! I love the series. Not a 5 start, but a 4!
However, with that said, if you know of a teen that you may think could benefit reading this and talking to someone about it, then by all means have them read. It is sometimes good to know that one is not always alone in in horror stories like this. Sometimes when teenagers are in these kinds of circumstances, they feel alone, and it is good to read about someone else that is experiencing the same thing. Then ... it is good to follow up with an adult.
