Blood Promise

In the gripping fourth installment of Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series, "Blood Promise" plunges Rose Hathaway into her most agonizing trial yet. Following a devastating Strigoi attack on St. Vladimir’s Academy, Dimitri Belikov, Rose's mentor and forbidden love, has been turned into one of the undead – a creature he swore he'd rather die than become. Haunted by a promise she made to him long ago, Rose must now choose between her sworn duty to protect her best friend, Lissa Dragomir, and a perilous solo quest to hunt down and kill the man she loves most. Leaving the safety of the Academy and her friends behind, Rose travels to Siberia, delving into a world far more dangerous and morally ambiguous than she ever imagined. As she grapples with the potential destruction of Dimitri, Rose confronts the true cost of love, loyalty, and the sacrifices demanded by a world teetering on the brink of war between Moroi, Dhampir, and Strigoi.
