Dimitri's life was never meant to be his own. It had always been promised the protection of the Moroi. He lived his life for them, but for the first time ever, he feels the desire to share his life with another. Resenting the cards he's been given and slowly watching his Roza lose herself to the impending darkness, has he already lost what matters most? 3rd in the DPOV series.

Two paths lie ahead. One seems to offer everything Dimitri could ever hope for. The other promises pain and the one thing he truly wants: the one person he can never have. Is a comfortable life worth the absence of love, or is that love worth the inevitable heartbreak? Will that choice be made for him before he has the chance to decide?
