Vampire Academy: The Ultimate Guide Read Online Free PDF

Rose is “shadow-kissed.”
    Just like Anna—St. Vladimir’s guardian, Rose realizes. St. Vlad also used spirit to bring Anna back from the dead.
    It turns out that Victor and his daughter, Natalie, have been leaving the dead animals for Lissa in an attempt to test her abilities in spirit, which is the fifth magical element Moroi can specialize in. Since it’s so rare, it’s been forgotten over the centuries by nearly everyone in Moroi and dhampir society.
    It was important for Victor to prove that Lissa was, in fact, a spirit user because only a Moroi who possessed spirit could keep his disease at bay. Victor is determined to receive regular healings, regardless of the cost to Lissa’s mental and physical health.
    But it’s all for the greater good. Or so he claims. Victor was next in line to the throne, and he thinks he can regain his status once he’s healthy again. He has big plans for the future of the Moroi race.
    When Lissa refuses to help, Rose watches with horror through the bond as Victor has her friend tortured by one of his air-user henchmen who magically suffocates Lissa until she finally agrees to do as he wishes.
    Lissa uses her healing ability to heal Victor, and he becomes stronger and stronger. Meanwhile, Lissa only gets weaker from using so much spirit magic.

RESCUING LISSA
     
    Rose is sickened by what is happening to her best friend and feels helpless that she’s unable to protect her from the pain. She directs the guardians to the cabin where Lissa is being kept. Before they storm in, Dimitri tells a furious and frustrated Rose to stay behind in the SUV. But alone in the car, Rose realizes they won’t find Lissa—the bond shows her that Lissa has escaped the house and is now on her own in the wilderness.
    She needs to find her friend . . . and fast. When Rose finds her, Lissa is backed up against a tree by a pack of Victor’s psi hounds, psychically connected wolf-like beasts. They turn on Rose when they realize she’s there. In the nick of time, Christian—who stowed away for the trip in an attempt to save the girl he’s fallen for—arrives to help fend them off, but he’s violently attacked.
    Alberta, the head of the school’s guardians, swoops in and shoots the dangerous animals. Christian is badly hurt . . . and dying. Lissa wants desperately to heal him, but she’s too weak from healing Victor.
    Before, Rose might have hesitated to let her friend feed from her in public, risking being labeled again as a blood whore, but there’s no question what she needs to do to help Lissa to save Christian. Her friend needs blood to regain her energy and her magic; Rose offers her neck to the cause, and it’s enough to give Lissa the energy to save Christian.
    The other guardians capture Victor and hold him prisoner under full-time guard at school. They realize Natalie is also to blame. Not only did she help plant the dead animals, but, as an earth-magic user, just like her father, she was the one responsible for rotting the wood that broke Rose’s ankle. It was another attempt to get Lissa to use her healing ability, proving once and for all that she is a spirit user.
    In the wake of her kidnapping, Lissa realizes what she really wants. For starters, she wants Christian— the boy who has stood by her side, in the attic and out, the one who stowed away in the back of a van in order to help rescue her. She breaks up with Aaron and officially starts dating the social outcast, not caring what damage this relationship might do to her royal reputation.
    Not everyone’s romantic life is quite as happy. Dimitri makes sure Rose is aware that what happened because of the lust charm was wrong and stupid.
    “Even if you choose not to tell, you need to understand that it was a mistake . And it isn’t ever going to happen again, ” he added.
    “Because you’re too old for me? Because it isn’t responsible?”
    His face was perfectly blank. “No. Because I’m just not interested in you in that
