Blood Promise is the fourth book in Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead.

Summary[]

It follows Rose's journey to find Dimitri Belikov, Lissa Dragomir's former guardian and Rose's love interest and mentor throughout the first half of the series, so she can kill him after he's been turned into a Strigoi following a battle at St. Vladimir's Academy.

Plot[]

The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir's Academy was the deadliest ever in the school's history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them—including Dimitri. At the end of Shadow Kiss, Rose chose to leave St. Vladimir's Academy to hunt and kill Dimitri, whom she suspects has returned to his homeland, Russia. In Russia, she meets Sydney Sage, an Alchemist, who guides her to Dimitri's village. She meets his family and starts living with them. She also meets the bonded couple, Oksana (a spirit-user) and Mark (a shadow-kissed dhampir).

Abe, an infamous and powerful Moroi, is trying to send her back to the USA. She accepts his deal to leave the Belikovs when she learns that it is the only way to protect Viktoria, Dimitri's younger sister, from a Moroi man who wants to seduce her for sex. She goes along with some unpromised vampire slayers to interrogate some Strigoi to learn of Dimitri's whereabouts. Dimitri finds Rose, knocks her out, and makes her his captive. He also drinks from her and attempts to convince her to allow him to awaken her. However, she runs away, knowing it was either becoming a Strigoi, or death. Dimitri chases her while she attempts to commit suicide on a bridge, but Rose stabs him with a silver stake.

She mentally fights against Avery, an unknown evil spirit user, with Lissa and Adrian. After this, she goes back to St. Vladimir's, where she learns from Janine that Abe is her father. She also agrees to become Adrian's girlfriend. However, soon she receives a bloody stake and death threat/love letter from Dimitri, whom she thought she had killed. She realizes that after graduation, she and Lissa will have to release Victor Dashkov from prison in order to find his spirit user brother and find a way to turn Dimitri back to his dhampir state.
