The Introduction.
Ten years after Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir graduated from Saint Vladimir's Academy a new shadow kissed moroi and dhampir came in. Willow Gastov (the moroi) and her dhampir best friend Katherine Lethgo are now the new seniors at Vladimir's and they are living through regular high school drama while dealing with the effects of spirit using and survival against strigoi. Though Willow is a strong Moroi she cannot live without her shadow kissed best friend and everyone knows it. Even the strigoi. The Gastov family is one of the most prominent royal families in the moroi world and Willow Gastov is one of the most sought after kills in the strigoi world. Though Katherine is one of the best (and most feared) dhampir students at the school she can only hope to be as good as Rose Hathaway, and to keep her best friend alive.
