VAMPIRE ACADEMY
Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies….
The series that has sold over three quarters of a million copies in Australia alone debuts as a major motion picture in 2014, starring Zoey Deutch and Australia's Lucy Fry.
First released in 2007 as a six-book series, including Vampire Academy, Frostbite, Shadow Kiss, Blood Promise, Spirit Bound and Last Sacrifice; and then following into a spin-off series, Bloodlines, Mead has firmly established herself as a prominent, bestselling urban fantasy author for both adults and teens, with Vampire Academy selling foreign rights in thirty-two countries.
Fans are hungry for more with the upcoming movie release bringing it back to fever-pitch. They are chatting about it; tweeting about it; and talking directly to the author about it. Mead's notoriety does not stop at her writing with over a million Facebook fans, 175,000 Facebook friends and a following of 75,000 on Twitter.
The story follows the war between two races of vampires, living and undead. Rose Hathaway, a 17-year old half-vampire, is training to be a Guardian for her best friend Lissa Dragomir, a Moroi princess – a mortal vampire with a rare gift for harnessing the earth's magic. Rose finds her life complicated by the dangers it involves, as well as an illicit romance with one of her teachers.
Rose and Lissa must navigate their dangerous world, confront the temptations of forbidden love, and never once let their guard down, lest the evil undead make Lissa one of them forever . . .
Vampire Academy is a story of love, friendship, loyalty and finding your place in the world – the vamp action just gives it that little extra kick.
Richelle Mead is the author of the international bestselling Vampire Academy series, its spin-off series, Bloodlines, and the Age of X series. A lifelong reader, Richelle has always had a particular fascination with mythology and folklore. When she can actually tear herself away from books (either reading or writing them), she enjoys reality TV, travelling, trying interesting cocktails and shopping for dresses to wear on tour. She is a self-professed coffee addict, works in her pyjamas, and has a passion for all things wacky and humorous. Originally from Michigan, Richelle now lives in Seattle, Washington, where she is hard at work on her next Bloodlines novel.
Over three quarters of a million Australians can't be wrong…
