VAMPIRE ACADEMY

Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, half-vampire and half-human who is training to be a guardian at St Vladimr's Academy along with many others like her. There are good and bad vampires in their world... Moroi, who co-exist peacefully among the humans and only take blood from donors, and also possess the ability to control one of the four elements... water, earth, fire or air. The Strigoi are blood-sucking, evil vampires who drink to kill, and these are who Rose and other Dhampir guardians are trying to rid the world of. Along with her best friend Vasilisa Dragomir, a Moroi who possesses the unusual power of Spirit, Rose must run away from St Vladimir's, in order to protect Lissa who brought her back to life and is now bonded to her from others who wish to capture Lissa and use her for their own means.
