Vampire Academy is a dark and dangerous series by Richelle Mead, now in graphic novel form. St Vladimir's Academy isn't just any boarding school - hidden away, it's a place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to St Vladimir's where the girls must survive a world of forbidden romances, a ruthless social scene and terrifying night time rituals. The biggest test? To stay alive. Richelle Mead, the New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Academy series, lives in Seattle in the USA.
