Summary

A great journey...

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? Find out more about one of your favorite professors in Lenobia's Vow , the next heart-thumping House of Night Novella by PC Cast and Kristin Cast.

Horn Book Review

These novellas serve as prequels to the House of Night titles. Oath features Dragon and Anastasia's romance, and Vow details Lenobia's equestrian background. Murky black-and-white illustrations do nothing to help the lackluster writing. Only committed fans of the original series will be interested in these histories of the professors at the boarding school for fledgling vampyres.

Booklist Review

This second House of Night novella tells the story of riding-instructor Lenobia, the illegitimate daughter of a French aristocrat, doomed to a life of servitude. When the baron's legitimate daughter dies unexpectedly, Lenobia's mother seizes the opportunity to send lookalike Lenobia in her dead sister's place to marry a wealthy landowner in New Orleans. Also onboard the ship are a lecherous bishop with magical powers and a gorgeous horse trainer. And yes, there are vampyres: benevolent, feminist figures who appear at the very end to usher Lenobia into a new life. The fluid, romantic style and solid, predictable plot will delight fans.--Carton, Debbie Copyright 2010 Booklist
