About the Bloodlines series

Richelle Mead's Bloodlines is the spin-off from Vampire Academy, following the human alchemist Sydney Sage — trained to keep the secret vampire world hidden — as she's assigned to protect a Moroi princess in sun-baked Palm Springs. Buttoned-up, rule-bound Sydney's forbidden attraction to the charming vampire Adrian drives the series.

Bloodlines deepens the world of VA with new stakes, magic and one of the genre's most satisfying slow-burn romances. Sydney's arc — from rigid loyalty to questioning everything — gives it real emotional heft.

Read Vampire Academy first, then this series in order from "Bloodlines."
