The Evernight series, four books coming from HarperCollins beginning in May 2008, follows the story of Bianca Olivier.

When the story begins in Evernight, Bianca has just left the small town where she's spent her whole life. She's a new student at Evernight Academy, a creepily Gothic boarding school where her classmates are somehow too perfect: smart, sleek and almost predatory. Bianca knows she doesn't fit in.

Then she meets Lucas, another loner, who seems fiercely determined not to be the "Evernight type." There's a connection between Bianca and Lucas that can't be denied. She would risk anything to be with him—but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart... and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed to be true.

Stargazer (March 2009) returns to Bianca's story a few months later. Both she and Lucas will stop at nothing to see each other again—even if it means living a life of secrets and lies. But even as Bianca finds herself torn between two worlds, she soon discovers they aren't the only ones keeping secrets. Will powerful forces within Evernight Academy keep her from deciding her own fate, or claim her forever?

Hourglass (March 2009) After escaping from Evernight Academy, the vampire boarding school where they met, Bianca and Lucas seek refuge with Black Cross, an elite group of vampire hunters. Bianca must hide her supernatural heritage or risk certain death at their hands. But when Black Cross captures her friend--the vampire Balthazar--all her secrets threaten to come out.

Soon, Bianca and Lucas have orchestrated Balthazar's escape and are on the run, pursued not only by Black Cross, but by the powerful leaders of Evernight. Yet no matter how far they run, Bianca can't escape her destiny.

Bianca has always believed their love could survive anything--but can it survive what's to come?

Afterlife

"When you're immortal, true love really is forever."

Immortal (August 2008) is an anthology of stories about the beauty, passion and terror of love affairs between mortals and vampires. "Free: A Story of Evernight" tells the history of Patrice Devereaux, Bianca's friend and roommate in Evernight. Patrice's life as a free woman of color in antebellum New Orleans allows her a very strange kind of freedom, one with definite limits and a definite end. Just as she prepares to take a tremendous risk for love, a mysterious man appears in town with very different ideas about liberation -- and an obsession with Patrice that might cost her everything.

Immortal is available exclusively from Borders stores or Borders online.

Other authors featured in Immortal include Cynthia Leitich Smith, Rachel Caine, Richelle Mead, Nancy Holder, Kristin Cast and Tanith Lee. The anthology is edited by P.C. Cast. You can read an excerpt of Free: A Story of Evernight, as well as excerpts from some of the other stories, at TeenLibris.

Life's a beach—and then you're undead?

Vacations From Hell (May '09) offers five different authors' takes on vacations gone wrong—in the supernatural sense. Losing your luggage doesn't compare to sharing a summer house with a witch who's carrying a grudge. A sunburn may feel terrible, but it fades faster than a terrible curse. But even in the worst situations, sometimes love can bloom.

You won't want to spend your next summer vacation without this one!
