夜之屋吸血鬼們所尊崇的夜后妮克絲，不論是大地女神、冥神之妻，觀音、蓋亞，指得都是這位女神，而她的神話故事也讓許多讀者為之著迷，現在作者推出了關於夜后的真實故事，這些都是「夜之屋」系列中看不到的精彩內容！
With more than 10 million copies sold internationally, and 7 million copies in print in North America alone, P.C. and Kristin Cast’s House of Night series, featuring fledgling teenage vampyre Zoey Redbird and her friends at the Oklahoma House of Night vampyre boarding school, is more than just another vampire series.
A big part of the reason is its strong mythological underpinnings. From Nyx, the goddess worshipped by the series vampyres, to the Cherokee legend that drives the plot, the House of Night series is infused with elements from multiple mythos and religious traditions to create a new, modern mythology all its own.
Edited by P.C. Cast, Nyx in the House of Night—a 2-color illustrated guide to the House of Night series—brings these rich mythological influences to life, providing the real-world stories behind the series and insight into the way those stories are used to create the captivating story of Zoey and the House of Night.
Chapters includes:
‧ Wiccan ritual
‧ The original story of Erebus and Nyx
‧ Cherokee mythology
‧ The historical significance of tattoos
‧ And more
The book also includes an original introduction and chapter on Scottish folklore by P.C. Cast herself.
