Awakened, written by American author P.C. Cast and her daughter, Kristin Cast, is the eighth book from the bestselling House of Night series. This book marks the return of Zoey Redbird from the other world to the House of Night as the High Priestess. Although her friends are pleased and happy on her return, but since she has lost her human companion, Heath, finding out whether Zoey's relationship with Stark will ever remain the same is the appealing part of the book. The Raven Mocker, Rephaim refuses to be used against Stevie Rae as they share a powerful and mysterious imprint but Stevie Rae knows it is wrong for her to be with him and thus tries to stay away but they eventually become a couple once Nyx forgives Rephaim and changes him into a shapeshifter. Acquitted by the Vampire High Council, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey and considers dominion over Kalona as the only weapon that can be used against her.
