Publisher Description
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.

"I enjoyed this novella as a kind of Book 8.75 in the main House of Night series. OK, the "authorized" description writeup for this book/ novella is SO wrong it's pathetic. This book primarily deals with Lenobia's 2-month long ship voyage from France to New Orleans in 1788, not her life in a small Southern town at the turn of the century (which usually refers to the late 1800's not the late 1700's). Aside from that major issue, which is the main reason that I no longer read the backs of books or the inner sleeves or the editorial descriptions of any book until AFTER I read said book. It wasn't great but at least they didn't try to make it into a full novel; I respect that they didn't try to make this into a full novel. It was a nice background story on an older character of the main series and I thank the authors for treating us, the readers, with this. If you love the series then don't miss this. There's no crucial information to be found here but it's a nice quick read."

Lenobia's Vow Listener Reviews

" Pretty good. More girl power which is what makes these books so enjoyable. In 1788, Lenobia is a strong female character as was the nun. I wish we had more info about the bishop though, why did he have an affinity for fire, I don't believe he was a vampyre. Also good job with the evil pedophile Catholic priest, pretty timely. "

" The Dude that like wanted her and was a pervert made me want to puke. In The picture he looked extremely repulsive and made me just want to rip up the page because he looked so ugly. But sadly I cant because its The libraries book and if I mess it up im gonna have to pay for it. :( "

" I'm disappointed a bit... it was worse than the first novella. I couldn't feel the sadness of the novella. I can't say I liked it because that would be a lie. I think it's my infinite love towards this series which made me give 4,5 stars for this novella. "
