Blood Ties. Book 1. Princess by Blood

The first book of the 'Bloodlines' series, expanding the legendary universe of 'Vampire Academy'. An original story that can be read as a standalone series, where not only vampires and dhampirs are the main characters, but also alchemists - humans whose task is to keep the existence of the supernatural a secret. Burning emotions, intrigues, dangers, new heroes, and old acquaintances! After Sydney Sage agreed to cooperate with a falsely accused dhampir, she lost the trust of her fellow alchemists. And they are not inclined to easily forget transgressions. So now, when Sydney is assigned a new task, she must execute it flawlessly. She must hide and protect Princess Jill Mastrano, until the new vampire queen solidifies her position. If a coup occurs among the Moroi aristocrats, it will inevitably lead to unrest, potentially harming humans and exposing what has long been kept secret: vampires live among us. Alchemists cannot allow this. Therefore, 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 were taught to consider enemies, to see that they have their own feelings and doubts? Will Sydney be able to work together with vampires for a common goal and ensure that the alchemists do not suspect her of new betrayal?
