With their lives upended by tragedy, Rose's place is uncertain as Lissa faces a new role in court.

Plot summary[]

At one of the Queen's parties at St. Vladimir's Academy, Lissa is there with her royal family and her Dhampir best friend and future guardian, Rose Hathaway. Unfortunately, there is a tragic car accident, and all of Lissa's family loses their lives, but she and Rose survive.

Three months later, Lissa is ready to return to St. Vladimir's, but her new guardian, Dimitri, keeps Rose from immediately greeting her best friend. Later, Lissa learns that since she is the only Dragomir left, she must perform the Consecration Ceremony and take her seat on the council. She has to speak old Moroi for the ceremony, but she struggles with it until Christian Ozera introduces himself and helps her. Sparks fly between the two and go on to open up to her about his parents turning Strigoi. At the Consecration Ceremony no one wants to sit near Christian because of what his parents did. Lissa does great speaking the Old Moroi, as well as with everything else. Later, Christian tracks Lissa down and offers to be her old Moroi tutor.

Eventually, Victor knows Lissa is associating with Christian and warns her to stop.

Meanwhile, in Guardian training class, it's Challenge Day. Rose loses her #1 ranking for skipping class to see Lissa, so she challenges Mason for her spot back. It goes well until Rose sees Lissa in her minds eye having a panic attack, and she falters, allowing Mason to win.

Rose and Lissa sneak out during the daytime and go to a place they both loved. There, they memorialized Lissa's family with lanterns. Dusk is quickly approaching on their way back, and Rose suddenly feels sick. They get attacked by a Strigoi, and Lissa makes it safely inside the wards. Unfortunately, Dimitri has to help Rose, and he's pissed at them for sneaking out. He's also not the only one upset. The best friends are no longer allowed to be roommates, and Rose gets an upsetting email from her mother informing her how disappointed and ashamed of her she is.

Surprisingly, the Queen throws another party for St. Vladimir's Feast Day and shocks everyone in attendance when she names her successor as Lissa Dragomir.
