After Blood Promise, Rose returns to the academy and finds out a side effect of being Shadow-kissed. What will happen to her journey to find Doru? Will she be able to save her one true love?
Summary-
Rose returns to St. Vladimir's Academy to her best friend Lissa. She's been back for a month now and there are only a couple of weeks left before the end of school. Hoping to get a chance to become Lissa's guardian, she has been on good behavior and after losing her true love, she has learned more control. Guardian Hathaway, her mom, decided to join the school until the end of the school year and is here permanently. She decided that for once, her being here for her only daughter is more important.
Since returning, Rose has been training with both her mom and Guardian Petrov, Alberta. Her skills that Dimitri had taught her along with those of her mother's and Alberta's have improved her beyond imaginable. She's faster than before, she can do a lot of damage when the darkness is near and she can feel all the strigoi that are within close proximity. She knows that they are close by, but just not sure how close. She can feel them – like a constant humming in the background telling her they are nearby, but she cannot help until she is outside the academy. She knows that Dimitri is out there waiting for her to get out, so he can either turn her or kill her.
Her goal of finding Robert Doru might have to be put on hold if Dimitri comes before she is able to find him. If Dimitri comes, maybe she can convince him to hold off for a little while. Give him something to look forward to, something she thought she will never be able to give him. Maybe that will give him hope, only until she finds Doru.
Will she be able to save Dimitri?
