Night World isn't just a place. It's all around us. It's a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures of darkness that live among us. In this thrilling third bind-up of the series, the Night People are preparing for an apocalypse that could destroy the human world. Four teenagers, gifted with special powers, are the key to preventing this impending doom, but they must first navigate the dangers that come with their unique abilities and find their soulmates.

In Huntress, a hunter who is half vampire takes on the mission of stalking other vampires to protect humans. Black Dawn sees a vampire prince entangled in a forbidden love with a girl he enslaves. Meanwhile, in Witchlight, a shapeshifter is tasked with protecting a rebellious teenager, a mission complicated by unexpected feelings.

Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse has her hands full with shapeshifter Quinn—a possible new man in her life—and the upcoming central U.S. Vampire Summit on the shores of Lake Michigan. Sookie's job at the summit is to support Vampire Queen Sophie-Anne, whose power base was weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans. But Sookie is about to discover just how dangerous that job can be, as she is drawn further and further into the vampire world...

With a dagger in her hand and vengeance on her mind, Darkhaven beauty Elise Chase prowls Boston’s streets in search of retribution against the Rogue vampires who took from her everything she cherished. Using an extraordinary psychic gift, she tracks her prey, well aware that the power she possesses is destroying her. She must learn to harness this gift, and for that she can turn to only one man—the deadliest of the Breed warriors, Tegan.

No stranger to loss, Tegan knows Elise’s pain. He knows fury, but when he slays his enemies it is with ice in his veins. He is perfect in his self-control, until Elise seeks his aid in her personal war. An unholy alliance is forged—a bond that will link them by blood and vow—and plunge them into a tempest of danger, desire, and the darkest passions of the heart. . . .

Small-town cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse has had more than her share of experience with the supernatural—but now it’s really hitting close to home. When Sookie sees her brother Jason’s eyes start to change, she knows he’s about to turn into a were-panther for the first time—a transformation he embraces more readily than most shapeshifters she knows. But her concern becomes cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population, and Jason’s new panther brethren suspect he may be the shooter.

Now, Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who’s behind the attacks—unless the killer decides to find her first…
