About this ebook

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...from authors P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast.

Ratings and reviews

Neferet's Curse is a dark story, its obliviously has a lot of dark thoughts and heartbreak in it. As much as I loved it, it was heartbreaking to read about it, she could have been a great cause to the Light! Emily was a beautiful girl and she had too much growing up to do that she could not deal with because of her father. And because she could not let it go she became Dark :( Its a great HON Novella and it makes you understand Neferet better. It makes me understand why she would never allow anyone or anything control her, and how alone she always have felt.

A story that needs to be told and understood. This is an all too familiar issue for too many young people. The people that are supposed to protect and love them are the ones that they fear greatest. The young often fear rebuke or retribution for coming forward in these types of circumstances. Thank you for having the courage to write something so powerful. I hope others will take the chance and seek the help they need before it is too late.

After reading this.... it's extremely sad what she went through. Noone should ever be controlled. But her actions now are beyond saving. She should be doing good not evil.
