Bloodlines – VA Spin Off Series

BLOOD DOESN’T LIE

Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets – and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she’s still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir – the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir – is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding.

To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill’s guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty – a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning.

Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive – this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood.

FAQ’s

Will Bloodlines be related to Vampire Academy?
We’re still in the same universe, the same rules, all of that. But characters who were in a peripheral role are now our leads. The narrator is Sydney, a human. She’s an alchemist. Jill, a Moroi vampire, also has a key role. The male lead is going to be a big surprise. I’ll only say that it’s one of the love interests from Vampire Academy.

Where will the story be set?
In the human world, in a human high school. Before, we were enclosed in a vampire universe. But now our protagonists are playing by human rules and trying to blend in. It puts a whole new perspective on it. And the high school is in California. Bright and sunny, which is problematic for vampires.

Extra Info

“Last Sacrifice will be the last book about Rose, but it’ll be followed by a spin-off series still set in the Vampire Academy world.
Side characters we know from the current series will now be our main characters, and there will be a whole new storyline (not the last one told from a different perspective).
So far, there is no exact release date, but you can expect it near late summer/early fall of 2011.
I can tell you that it’ll be written in third person, so we’ll get a number of characters’ perspectives. One of them will be Sydney. The others are a secret for now. Also, expect a cameo from Rose. ”

“Bloodlines is the spin-off series to Vampire Academy (it’s the name of the first book and of the series). It’s set in the VA world but will be about different characters: Sydney (our narrator), Jill, Eddie, and one of the love interests from VA. I’m not saying who that last guy is, but it’s mostly to protect those who haven’t read Last Sacrifice. If you have read it, then it should be pretty obvious who the other character is.”
