That first night in the camp, he witnesses babies and children thrown into a great fire in a burning ditch. A Nazi SS doctor separates those who are going to be killed immediately from those who will work. The women are immediately separated from the men, and Eliezer never sees his mother or his younger sister again (they are immediately sent to the gas chamber). The train arrives at Birkenau, the gateway to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where the passengers can see chimneys belching fire and can smell burned flesh. The Jews travel on the train for several days, during which time one Jewish woman goes mad and screams about fire. Next, they force the Jews like cattle onto trains headed to an unknown destination. Soon, the Hungarian police round the Jews up into two ghettoes. Before long, German officers are living in Sighet and then arresting the Jewish leaders of the town. The Fascists come to power in Hungary and German soldiers enter the country. Eliezer wants his father to relocate the family to Palestine, but his father says he's too old to start again. In 1944, the Jews of Sighet still don't really believe Hitler intends to exterminate them. The Jews of the town can't believe what Moché is saying, and think he's gone mad. Moché escaped with a leg wound and has come to warn the Jews of Sighet to leave. When the Hungarian police deport all of the foreign Jews, Moché is sent away, but he returns with a terrible and fantastic tale: the Gestapo stopped the train and slaughtered the deported Jews. Eliezer begins to study the Cabbala, the book of Jewish mysticism, with an immigrant named Moché the Beadle. His parents and sisters run a shop in the town, and his father is highly respected in the Jewish community. He's deeply religious and spends much of his time studying the Torah (the Bible) and the Talmud and praying. After a disastrous ritual, Zoey is gifted with great power which allows her to take over the Dark Daughters and Sons and becomes the new High Priestess in training.At the start of the memoir, it's 1941 and Eliezer is a twelve-year-old Jewish boy in the Hungarian town of Sighet. Zoey enlists the aid of her new friends as well as the aid of Erik Night, the hot boy in school who is also Aphrodite's ex-boyfriend. Neferet is unaware of Aphrodite's lies and deceit as well as the abuse of power. She knows that she must take over as Aphrodite abuses her power and does not honor the goddess Nyx. Zoey goes to a ritual of the Dark Daughters and Sons. Aphrodite proves to be a mean girl who bullies the others and uses her power to intimidate. Zoey and Aphrodite dislike each other immediately. Shortly after, Zoey meets Aphrodite, the Leader of a group known as the Dark Daughters and Sons and the High Priestess in training. Like all adult vamps, Neferet bears her mark as well as an elaborate tattoo on her face that only serves to increase her beauty. Neferet is a beautiful, tall woman with a commanding presence. Upon arriving at House of Night, Zoey meets her new mentor, Neferet, the High Priestess at the House of Night. However, Zoey feels the cravings almost immediately. Vampyre behaviors do not appear until the fifth or sixth year. Each year has their own level of education and skill. The House of Night has six levels of fledglings, ending with Sixth Formers. Since she has just been Marked, she is a First Former. Zoey learns that there are many levels of "fledgling" vampyres. Zoey must immediately come to terms with the fact that she is different from the other fledgling students and must learn to embrace her emerging powers. When Zoey enters the House of Night, she changes her name to Zoey Redbird. Zoey is powerful and wise beyond her years.Īlthough Zoey is a unique girl that rapidly develops vampyre powers and cravings, Zoey is also a teenage girl with all of the usual issues including hatred of tests, fear of being rejected, uncertainty about herself, and the desire to have a nice group of friends as well as a hot boyfriend. Zoey embodies the Cherokee culture and their beliefs. Zoey is much more like her grandmother than her mother. Zoey runs away to her Grandmother Redbird's lavender farm. Zoey is rejected by her ultra conservative religious mother and step-father (Step-Loser). This means that Zoey is going to become a vampyre. Things change for Zoey when she is Marked by a Vampyre Tracker at school. Zoey has an almost-relationship with football star Heath and is best friends with the fast talking and rarely silent Kayla. Zoey Montgomery is a 16 year old girl that attends Broken Arrow's South Intermediate High School.
