Love and loyalty run deeper than blood.

St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any school―it’s a place where vampires and dhampir’s, vampire-human hybrids, train for a life fraught with danger.

Rose Hathaway is a dhampir and a guardian for her best friend Lissa. The two have an unbreakable bond but Rose’s vow to always put Lissa first is tested when Dimitri Belikov arrives at St Vladimir’s.

Lethal and disciplined, Dimitri is everything a guardian should be and, with every moment they spend together, Rose finds herself more and more drawn to him. . . leaving Lissa exposed.

Soon, Rose will have to choose between the best friend she lives for, and the man she can't live without.

From the Back Cover

St Vladimir's Academy isn't just any boarding school - hidden away, it's a place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them.

Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to St Vladimir's where the girls must survive a world of forbidden romances, a ruthless social scene and terrifying night time rituals. But most of all, staying alive.
