Massachusetts

Massachusetts is a north-eastern state in the United States of America, and one of the primary settings of the Evernight series. It is included in the region of the States known collectively as New England. Its capital city and most populated city is Boston. Evernight Academy is located in the Massachusetts hills.

17th Century
Massachusetts was settled by colonists from Europe, in particular England, during the 17th century. Balthazar and Charity More lived with one such colony, known as the Massachusetts Bay Colony, until the year 1640, when they were turned into vampires. Balthazar's sire, John Redgrave and his tribe also lived in Massachusetts in 1640.

18th and 19th Centuries
Black Cross set up a cell in the city of Boston - the first in the city at the time - near the time of the American Revolution. The building that would eventually become Evernight Academy was also built during this time. Charlotte and Christopher Bethany presumably lived and hunted with Black Cross in Massachusetts, until Christopher was murdered and Mrs Bethany abandoned Black Cross to become a vampire, seeking vengeance for Christopher's death. She later helped establish Evernight Academy as a vampire sanctuary.
