The first book in Richelle Mead's brand-new teen fiction series - set in the same world as Vampire Academy.
When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.
Once I finished reading Bloodlines I could only think one thing: When does the next book arrive! Honestly, it was that good. I have only one caveat: to be able to comprehend this new series, one must read the Vampire Academy series because this book is a part of that same world but focuses on a different group of people.
Bloodlines reveal a bigger picture of the Alchemists and their mindset and history. Sydney is an Alchemists that Rose Hathaway meet in her travels in Europe. Sydney becomes indebted to Rose through her connections to Abe Mazur. Rose has been charged with treason, but with help from Sydney, she is eventually cleared. However, at the end of the Vampire Academy series the books do not elaborate on what happens to Sydney and other minor important characters. Bloodlines tells their story. Sydney must protect Jill Dragomir even though Sydney has been raised to consider all vampires as unnatural creatures of the night. But what happens when she starts to sympathize and even befriend these unholy monsters? A fantastic literary work is born.
