Synopses

Vampire Academy

St Vladimir’s Academy is a hidden boarding school where vampires are educated in magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway, a Dhampir, is bodyguard to her best friend Lissa, a Moroi vampire princess. After being on the run, they are taken back to the academy to face forbidden romances, a ruthless social scene and terrifying night-time rituals, with survival the priority.

Frostbite

During winter break at St Vladimir’s, a major Strigoi attack puts the school on high alert. A trip to the snowy peaks of Idaho becomes mandatory, but Rose’s problems follow her. As she struggles with the pain of knowing her relationship with her tutor Dimitri cannot be, matters become more complicated when one of her closest friends admits his feelings.

Shadow Kiss

Spring at St Vladimir’s finds Rose nearing graduation, but after her first Strigoi kills, she feels unsettled. Dark thoughts and erratic behaviour take hold, and she may even be seeing ghosts. Caught between her forbidden love for her tutor Dimitri and her duty to protect Lissa, Rose fails to see a deadly threat that will change her world and force a choice between the two people she loves most.

Blood Promise

A Strigoi attack at St Vladimir’s becomes the deadliest in the school’s history, killing many and taking others away, including Dimitri. Dimitri would rather die than become one of them. Rose must leave Lissa, the person she has sworn to protect, as the consequences of the attack reshape everything.

Spirit Bound

After a long journey to Dimitri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose returns to St Vladimir’s Academy and to Lissa. Yet her heart still aches for Dimitri, and she knows he is out there somewhere. Having failed to kill him when she had the chance, Rose faces the fear that her worst expectations are about to be realised.

Last Sacrifice

Rose is put on trial for high treason and the death of Queen Tatiana. With someone attempting to frame her, the situation grows increasingly dangerous. Even Dimitri may not be able to save her.
