Premise[]

The citizens of the Dominion must come together to face their greatest threat yet.

Plot summary[]

The Dominion falls under a brutal attack from the strigoi, who run around, creating havoc. Christian realizes that the only chance for survival is to restore the protective wall around the Dominion, one that the strigoi cannot cross. But the problem is that the key to closing that door has been stolen, which calls for a new key to be made. Meanwhile, Lissa finds herself in an even more precarious situation when the Queen is poisoned. She tries to heal the monarch, but it doesn’t work, and she is forced to run away for her life.

Rose and Mason drive away into the human world, but they turn back when Mason tells her that Dimitri is in prison, which means that Lissa is unprotected. Once back, they come up with a plan to evacuate the region before the next strigoi attack.

Meanwhile, Andre escapes Tatiana’s captivity and reunites with his sister. Just when it looks like things might take a turn for the better for the Dragomir family, fate strikes again.

While everyone believes that Andre died with his parents, it turns out that Tatiana has been holding him captive all this time. She needed someone with intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the monarchy so that she could find her way to the throne.

Knowing that his sister and the entire Dominion are in danger, Andre finally escapes. But his reunion with Lissa is short-lived. He is only able to tell her that Tatiana is behind it all. He hands over a chip to her, though Lissa has no idea what it means. Before he can tell her more, Christian’s mother attacks Andre. When Christian arrives on the scene, she is reminded of her husband’s death. As revenge, she feeds her blood to Andre and takes him away.

Elsewhere, now that the Queen is dead, Tatiana makes a move for the throne. She needs the council to elect her, but she knows that there are still some supporters of Victor who might create problems for her. So she lets loose a couple of strigoi, who conveniently kill all those who might stand against her.

By the end of the night, the vote is over and done with, and Tatiana is crowned queen of the Dominion. As soon as that happens, she declares Lissa a person of interest in the murder of the queen. It is important for her to get Lissa out of the way because she is the only one who can stake a claim on the throne now, challenging Tatiana’s authority. Before she died, the Queen had declared Lissa to be her heir to the throne, and there might still be some loyalists in the Dragomir family who would like to see Lissa on the throne rather than Tatiana.

With her brother gone and her reputation tarnished, Lissa has no choice but to flee. At least until she can find a way to strike back at Tatiana. She is accompanied by Rose, who is not going to leave Lissa anymore. The last time she did it, catastrophic things happened. Now that her best friend is going out into the world, she can’t let her do it on her own. Moreover, without Lissa, there is nothing tying Rose to the Dominion anymore. Except for Dimitri, that is. But right now, her best friend needs her more.

Another thing that gives purpose to Rose’s new adventure is the possibility of meeting her father. The only thing that she knows about him is that he is Moroi. Her dhampir mother, Janine, never talked about him, and Rose had always held a grudge against her father for abandoning her. This was also the reason why, except for Lissa, she never felt a particular duty towards the moroi. Now, however, she has the chance to connect with her father. Knowing that she is walking into a dangerous world, her mother wants her to have all the help she can get.

Meanwhile, Christian and Dimitri decide to stay back. It turns out that Christian is now the head of his family because his aunt died in the strigoi attack. He has to take over the reins of the Ozera family while also trying to find answers about his parents and redeem his own reputation. He is also one of the monks now, which means that there is a new path laid out for him, which might open him to more secrets related to the vampires.

Dimitri, despite wanting to leave with Rose and Lissa, stays back to keep an eye on Tatiana. Even in the face of all that has happened, he and Tatiana were on rather good terms the last time they saw each other. Now, someone needs to be close to her in order to figure out what her plan really is. Dimitri can do that and find a way to expose her, strip her of her power, and help bring Lissa back to the throne.

When an injured Andre opens his eyes, they turn out to be red.
