WHAT IF ROSE COULD LOSE HER BEST FRIEND FOREVER IF SHE FOLLOWED HER HEART?
A human vampire with a unique talent for using the power of the soil, Lissa Dragomir is a princess of the Moroi people. The most vicious vampires, the Strigoi, who never die, must be kept at bay at all times. Lissa's closest friend Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir because of the potent combination of vampire and human blood that runs through her. Rose is committed to living a risky life to keep Lissa safe from the Strigoi, who are determined to turn Lissa into one of their own.
Rose is aware that she is not allowed to love a guardian twice. Her best friend, Lissa - the last Dragomir princess - must always come first. Unfortunately, there are certain rules that are designed to be disregarded when it comes to the stunning Dimitri Belikov.
Then an odd darkness starts to creep into Rose's thoughts, and spectral shadows alert her to the approaching evil that threatens to breach the iron walls of the Academy. The undead are coming closer, and they want to get revenge for all the lives Rose has taken. Rose will have to decide between life, love, and the two people who matter most in a thrilling struggle that will surpass her wildest fears. But will her decision mean that only one can survive?
