Blood Ties. Book 1. Princess by Blood

The first book in the series «Blood Ties», expanding the legendary universe of «Vampire Academy». An original story that can be read as an independent cycle, with characters that include not only vampires and dampires but also alchemists — humans... whose task is to keep the existence of the supernatural a secret.
Burning feelings, intrigues, dangers, new heroes, and old acquaintances!

After Sydney Sage cooperated with a dampire falsely accused of a crime, she lost the trust of her fellow alchemists. And they are not inclined to forget misdeeds easily. So now that Sydney has a new assignment, she must carry it out flawlessly.
She must hide and protect Princess Jill Mastrano until the new queen of vampires secures her position. If a coup occurs among the Moroi aristocrats, it will inevitably lead to unrest, which could harm humans and bring to light what has long remained a secret: vampires live among us. Alchemists cannot allow this. Thus, Sydney, along with Jill and her Guardian, head to a boarding school in sunny California, pretending to be ordinary teenagers.

What is it like to live side by side with those you have been taught to consider enemies, to see that they have their own feelings and doubts? Will Sydney manage to work with the vampires for a common goal and ensure that the alchemists do not suspect her of new betrayal?
