蘿絲是不是命中注定必須殺害她最愛的人？春天已降臨聖弗拉德摩斯學院，蘿絲‧海瑟威也即將畢業。自從梅森死後，蘿絲就一直感覺怪怪的。在練習時，她的腦海會不斷閃過以前發生的事，她無法專心上課，她還夢見麗莎遭遇到很可怕的事情。但蘿絲心中還藏有一個更大的秘密：她愛上了狄米崔老師。她確定這一次她心中的感覺不是單純的迷戀。

●St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden 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—the very place where they’re most in danger. . . .

●Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.
