The Golden Lily

Sydney Sage, an Alchemist who guards the secrets of the vampire world from humans, is stationed at a Palm Springs boarding school to protect Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, who is in hiding from assassins that could start a civil war among the vampires.

As Sydney grows close to Jill and her friends, she begins to doubt what the Alchemists taught her about family and belonging. She is drawn into a new romance with a human boy named Brayden while struggling with feelings for someone forbidden, and magical experiments hint that she may hold a key to preventing Strigoi transformation, which frightens her.

When a shocking secret threatens to tear the vampire world apart, she must choose between the Alchemists and her heart. The second book in the Bloodlines series, a spinoff of Vampire Academy.
