The vampire academy series is probably my favorite book series of all, the story revolves around two girls, a vampire and a Dhampir, the vampire being Lissa, and the Dhampir being rose, now your probably wondering what a Dhampir is, well a damhpir is given to each of the Moroi (which is a vampire) to protect them, now a Dhampir is usually only given to a Moroi after they graduate from the academy, However Rose and Lissa have been friends for a long time and after a fatal car accident they were in that killed all of Lissa family making her the last of the royal Dragomir line, they were bonded. Rose can see through Lissa eyes whenever she wants and can read her mind, this comes in handy when Lissa is in trouble, Because of this bound Rose is determined to become Lissa guardian. Because Lissa is royal and the last of the Dragomir line she must be protected by the best, now with that said Moroi are special in their own way, each Moroi can specialize in one element. Earth, Water, Fire, and Air and once you specialize you learn how to use your power.
But Lissa is different, she has a special element that’s only ever been recorded 2 times, this element is called Spirit, she has the ability to use all of the elements plus she can heal, but this element has to be kept a secret because if the word gets out its bad luck for her. the reason Moroi are given certain powers is because they use to fight alongside guardians instead of having the guardians do all the work. The guardians protect Moroi from usually only one thing. Strigoi. Strigoi are basically evil vampires, they torment the Moroi and want them all dead, However, anyone can become a Strigoi, you can become a Strigoi in 2 ways, 1 you can turn yourself, by killing an innocent person, and 2 by getting bit, Strigoi are much stronger and more powerful then guardians and Moroi but thats why powers were given to the Moroi to help protect themselves, guardians like Rose spend years and years learning how to fight against Strigoi and learning how to use your strength and speed against them. Strigoi are keen on making sure they take down all the royal Moroi families and because Lissa is the last of her line they are out to get her the most, and what help their situation is when Rose and Lissa escape the academy to live freely on their own, and because of that choice they miss out on a lot and are always on the run.
