Hidden: Number 10 in series (House of Night #10)
by Kristin Cast P C CastI'd known it before we saw the fire trucks and the smoke. I'd known all hell had broken loose at the House of Night the moment it had been proven beyond all doubt that Neferet was on the side of Darkness. Only now I had a terrible feeling that outing Neferet would serve more to free her than to force her to pay the consequences for her lies and betrayals.At last, Zoey has what she wanted: the truth is out. Neferet's evil has been exposed, and the High Council is no longer on her side - but she's far from done wreaking havoc in the vampyre world. With the seeds of distrust sown and Darkness breeding chaos at the House of Night, everyone must band together - but that's proving to be more difficult than ever before. The twins are barely speaking and the House of Night's former enemy, Kalona, has now become their warrior, pushing their trust to the limits. To top it all off, Zoey is pretty darn sure she might be losing her mind - she saw something when she looked at Neferet's minion, Aurox, through the Seer Stone that she can hardly explain to herself, let alone her friends. Zoey knows that following her instincts might be just what they need to defeat evil... but if she's wrong, it could cause the destruction of those closest to her.With the tension at a breaking point and friendships on the line, can the nerd herd come together to stop the spread of Darkness before it's too late?
Hide Me Among the Graves
by Tim PowersLondon, winter of 1862, Adelaide McKee, a former prostitute, arrives on the doorstep of veterinarian John Crawford, a man she met once seven years earlier. Their brief meeting produced a child who, until now, had been presumed dead. McKee has learned that the girl lives-but that her life and soul are in mortal peril from a vampiric ghost. But this is no ordinary spirit; the bloodthirsty wraith is none other than John Polidori, the onetime physician to the mad, bad, and dangerous Romantic poet Lord Byron. Both McKee and Crawford have mysterious histories with creatures like Polidori, and their child is a prize the malevolent spirit covets dearly. Polidori is also the late uncle and supernatural muse to the poet Christina Rossetti and her brother, the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. When she was just fourteen years old, Christina unwittingly brought Polidori's curse upon her family. But the curse bestowed unexpected blessings as well, inspiring Christina's poetry and Gabriel's paintings. But when Polidori resurrects Dante's dead wife-turning her into a horrifying vampire-and threatens other family members, Christina and Dante agree that they must destroy their monstrous uncle and break the spell, even if it means the end of their creative powers. Determined to save their daughter, McKee and Crawford join forces with the Rossettis, and soon these wildly mismatched allies are plunged into a supernatural London underworld whose existence goes beyond their wildest imaginings. Ultimately, each of these disparate individuals-the sensitive poet, the tortured painter, the straitlaced animal doctor, the reformed prostitute, and even their Artful Dodger-like young daughter-must choose between the banality and constraints of human life and the unholy immortality that Polidori offers. Sweeping from the mansions of London's high society to its grimy slums, the elegant salons of the West End to the pre-Roman catacombs beneath St. Paul's Cathedral, Hide Me Among the Graves blends the historical and the supernatural in a dazzling, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride-a modern horror story with a Victorian twist.

It contains two novels, hiero's Journey, first published in 1973, and The Unforsaken Hiero, published in 1983. Nelson Doubleday's summary reads as follows: Welcome to North America, 5,000 years after The Death. The ruins of the civilized world are overgrown with post-holocaust forest and deadly desert wasteland. The five Great Lakes have merged to form a vast Inland Sea. Evolution has remodeled much of the plant and animal kingdoms. In what was once the Canadian West, the small Metz Republic, led by the scholar-priests of the Abbeys, is struggling to recapture the glow of knowledge, order and civilization. But the savage forces of the Brotherhood of the Unclean seem determined to crush anything that stands in the way of its evil plans for domination. The Most Reverend Abbot Kulase Demero believes there is hope for the outnumbered Metz-but it depends on a long-lost secret that must be recovered from deep in dangerous Brotherhood territory. And if anyone can bring it back, it is bold Per Hiero Desteen, telepath, warrior and priest. Hiero's journey chronicles the warrior-priest's daring quest. Setting forth on Klootz, his telepathically controlled mount, Hiero is soon joined by Gorm, an intelligent bear... by Luchare, a beautiful, dark-skinned princess whom Hiero has rescued from torturers ... by Brother Aldo, a mysterious ''Elevener"... and by, among others, the strange Captain Gimp. Hiero and his companions face peril at every turn. But nothing can prepare them for the surprise that awaits them at their destination. The Unforsaken Hiero scatters the band of compatriots across the face of the continent. Hiero, who journeys wit!h Luchare to her troubled homeland of D'alwah, will face capture by the Unclean, death by dehydration in the Deserts of Death, murderous mutated animals, and the most devastating terror of all-loss of his unparallelled mental powers. Hiero and his allies will be tested to the very limits of their abilities. But they are bolstered by a fierce determination to defeat the Unclean. It is that determination upon which their survival depends ... and which may bring victory in their ultimate confrontation with the Unclean.
