Last Sacrifice

They take precedence.

My eyesight was becoming less clear, with darkness and specters encroaching. I vowed that it sounded like Robert whispering in my ear, saying, "The world of the dead won't give you up twice." The last bit of light I saw was Dimitri's face merging with Lissa's. I wanted to smiled. At that moment, I made the decision to end my life if it meant the two people I loved the most were safe.

I may finally be among the dead.

Rose Hathaway has never followed someone else's rules. When she and Lissa, the only surviving Dragomir princess and closest friend, fled St. Vladimir's Academy, they breached the law. When she fell in love with Dimitri, her attractive but off-limits tutor, she violated the law. She also had the audacity to challenge Queen Tatiana, the head of the Moroi people, risking her life and her reputation in order to save future generations of dhampir guardians.

Rose has now been apprehended by the authorities for a crime she did not even commit. She is incarcerated for the gravest crime conceivable—the killing of a sovereign. To discover the one person still alive who can stop her execution and make the Moroi elite recognize a startling new contender for the royal throne—Vasilisa Dragomir—she will need assistance from both Dimitri and Adrian.

However, Rose's life is coming to an end. Rose knows deep down that the afterlife wants her back, and that there are no more opportunities for her to do it right this time. The crucial question is: who will rescue you when your whole existence is devoted to rescuing others?

Come experience the dramatic, memorable conclusion of Richelle Mead's worldwide #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series with Rose, Dimitri, Adrian, and Lissa in Last Sacrifice.
