Affinities are magical abilities, or enhanced abilities, that range from telepathy to elemental control to a fondness for horses. There is an additional trait to vampyres which can develop as fledgling (usually a good sign that they will succeed in achieving adulthood) or later as an adult. The process of the Change is very similar to the rejection, but instead of dying the vampyre develops more tattoos across their face, starting with the crescent moon filling in and proceeding with unique tattoos that often represent the personality and interests of the vampyre. As vampyres do not get ill, this is unusual and usually within a matter of hours or days the fledgling will essentially bleed out of all of their orifices and die. A fledgling in the process of rejecting the Change will start to get ill, similar to how they were before being marked. Without regular close proximity to adult vampyres, fledglings are in danger of getting incredibly sick and potentially dying as a result.įledgling vampyres will eventually either accept or reject the Change, which is the transition to adult vampyre. Houses are a system of boarding schools where adult vampyres train and protect fledglings. These teenagers are thus moved to the nearest House of Night. A tracker vampyre then “marks” the fledgling vampyre, a magical rite that results in the fledgling developing a crescent moon “tattoo” on their forehead.įledgling vampyres are heavily dependent on adult vampyres, requiring immediate proximity to them as they develop. Around the age of sixteen a biological change happens in vampyres that makes them ill and sets off a magical process that special “tracker” vampyres can feel. In the Casts’ world of vampyres, biology is incredibly important. I’ll be starting here so that some much needed explanations for those new to the series can be gotten out of the way. Zoey functions as the main protagonist throughout the series, though in later books additional perspectives are added as the plot becomes more complex.
The story of the series follows Zoey Montgomery, later Zoey Redbird, a teenager living in Oklahoma who is “marked” as a vampyre. In this post, I’ll break down those three ideas and how House of Night handles them. The House of Night series is a creative take on vampire (or vampyre as the Casts prefer to spell it) mythos, biology, and genre. She has to leave her family in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and move into the House of Night, a boarding school for other fledgling vampyres like her.” – Goodreads The books follow 16-year-old Zoey Redbird as she is “Marked” by a vampyre tracker and begins to undergo the “Change” into an actual vampyre. “House of Night is a thrilling, New York Times bestselling young adult fantasy series.
