Synopsis
Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi
princess: a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth’s magic. She
must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous
vampires – the one who never die.
The powerful blend of human
and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa’s best friend, makes
her a Dhampir. Rose is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from
the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of them.
After two years of illicit
freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St. Vladmir’s Academy,
hidden in the deep forest of Montana. Rose will continue her Dhampir education.
Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Mori social scene. And both girls will resume braking Academy
hearts.
Fear made Lissa and Rose run
away from St. Vladimir’s – inside the Academy’s irn gates, their world is even
more fraught with danger. Here, the cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform
unspeakable rituals, and their secretive nature and love of the night creates
an enigmatic world full of social complexities. Rose and Lissa must navigate
through this dangerous world, confront the temptation of forbidden romance, and
never once let their guard down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them
forever...
