Summary[]

To be added

Plot[]

Rose reads her last love letter/death threat from Dimitri before her exams start. After passing them with flying colors, she realizes hers was harder than other novices and is mad. While others just had to run away from Strigoi while in a maze, Rose had to save her extremely dumb 'Moroi-like' assignment. However, she cuts the rope and makes him climb it, thankful that he didn't fall off.All travel to the court. With the help of Mia and Mikhail (the lover of Sonya), Eddie, Lissa, and Rose travel to Las Vegas, where Adrian tracks Rose's credit cards and follows them. While not very pleased with Rose's continued endeavors to help Dimitri, he stays with them. Robert Doru tells them that the Spirit user must infuse a stake with Spirit and kill the Strigoi on its own, but they escape when they are attacked by Dimitri and other Strigoi. They manage to escape, and upon their arrival at court, Eddie and Rose are punished for endangering the Moroi and sent to do physical labor. While they are occupied, Lissa and Christian are kidnapped by Dimitri as bait for Rose.

Deciding to kill him for good and eliminate a threat to Lissa, Rose leads a group of guardians to his hiding place. She fights her way over to him and is about to kill him when Christian encircles him in a ring of fire, effectively cutting all movement while Lissa stakes him. Dimitri is restored as a dhampir and taken into custody. Traumatized and crushed by guilt, he pushes Rose away, saying that he is no longer able to love. Rose turns to Adrian for comfort. They have a very romantic moment and almost have sex, but neither of them has any protection. Instead, Rose offers her neck to Adrian, who hesitates for a moment before biting her.

The next morning at breakfast, Rose and Dimitri run into each other. Dimitri sees the bite marks and knows who they come from—Adrian; he knew Rose was going to move on. In the middle of the discussion, a group of Guardians surrounds Rose, and Dimitri instinctively fights to protect her, but she calms him down. The Guardians announce to her that Queen Tatiana has been found murdered with Rose's stake, and as such, she is to come with them. At the ensuing hearing, it is decided that Rose must face an official hearing. If she is guilty, she will be sentenced to death. On the way to wait for the impending trial, Ambrose delivers a note to her from Tatiana saying that Lissa needs to have her voice heard in the Council and that there is a second living Dragomir, which is necessary for Lissa to have her quorum.
