Four years after the conclusion of LS Rose & Dimitri are going strong, Lissa is a queen worth waiting for and Moroi combat magic is finally taking off. Life is good. Until someone from inside Court becomes a threat to Lissa. Now Rose must find out who among them has it out for the queen before they do something irrevocable. There's also the matter of a little miracle to deal with.

Set just after Shadow Kiss, the attack still took place, but with a different outcome. Everyone is forced to leave the Academy for their safety, but with nowhere else to go, Rose is sent to Russia with Dimitri.

Rose is a royal moroi princess, last of her line after a strigoi massacre and heiress to the moroi throne. When 'Russian God' Dimitri Belikov becomes her guardian, they realize that they share a powerful magical bond that puts their lives in danger. But Strigoi are the least of their worries when they must fight through politics, revolutions, betrayals, and war for love.
