The Ultimate Richelle Mead Vampire Academy Guide

Fans of Stephenie Meyer Twilight books that crave more vampire action can sink their teeth into the Vampire Academy series.

Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy series follows the war between two races of vampires, living and undead. Rose Hathaway, a 17-year old dhampir as she finishes school and trains to fight evil vampires determined to destroy the Moroi vampire race.

There are three Vampire Academy novels out, with the fourth one titled Blood Promise slated for release in August 2009.

Vampire Academy – Vampire Academy Volume 1

Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth’s magic.  She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous vampires – the one who never die.

The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa’s best friend, makes her a Dhampir.  Rose is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of them.

After two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir’s Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana.  Rose will continue her Dhampir education.  Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi social scene.  And both girls will resume breaking Academy hearts.

Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir’s – inside the Academy’s iron gates, their world is even more fraught with danger.  Here, the cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable rituals, and their secretive nature and love of the night creates an enigmatic world full of social complexities.  Rose and Lissa must navigate through this dangerous world, confront the temptation of forbidden romance, and never once let their guard down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever . . .

The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy’s not taking any risks . . . .This year, St. Vlad’s annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.
