MorePrincess Vasilisa Dragomir Timeline & Summary
- Out in Portland, Lissa feeds on Rose to get strength, even tough it's considered dirty where they're from. Just then, they catch a glimpse of a guardian named Dimitri who has come to take them back to the academy.
- Back at St. Vladimir's, Rose and Lissa get a tongue-lashing from Headmistress Kirova about running away, but Rose gets the bulk of the punishment.
- When Lissa starts hanging out with Christian—whose parents used to be Strigoi—Rose flips out and warns her to keep a low profile. But Lissa connects with Christian in a way she just doesn't with her ex, Aaron, and feels like she can be herself around him and not have to pretend to fit in.
- Lissa gets a little present on her pillow—a dead fox—prompting her and Rose to worry that someone knows about what happened in the woods two years ago with Ms. Karp.
- Meanwhile, we learn what happened in the woods two years ago. Lissa and Rose saw a dead raven, and when Lissa went towards it and reached out, the raven flapped it wings—it wasn't dead anymore. Ms. Karp told them to keep this to themselves, and never to say a word about it.
- Then another dead animal—this time a rabbit—gets put in Lissa's stuff, this time along with a note saying, "I know what you are." Lissa is sure sometone knows about the dead-then-alive raven, and cuts her wrists.
- Everyone is buzzing about Rose hooking up with Jesse… and Ralf. Even though the rumors aren't true, Rose is humiliated because everyone thinks she's some cheap, dirty chick. Nobody makes Lissa's BFF feel badly about herself, so Lissa decides to do something about the nasty rumors and uses compulsion magic to change everyone's minds about Rose.
- A couple days later, Lissa and Rose go to the mall with Prince Victor, Natalie, and some guardians.
- While walking around, Rose slips and breaks her ankle, but when she comes to at the doctor's office, she's completely healed. That's right—Lissa healed her broken leg.
- Lissa is panicking and depressed after healing Rose, so she cuts her wrists. When Rose and Dimitri show up to try to help her, though, Lissa is upset that Rose shared her secret and tells her BFF to go away.
- A couple days later, Lissa is kidnapped by a bunch of guardians and taken to the woods, where she is tortured to convince her to use her magical healing powers to heal Prince Victor from a disease. Resistance is futile after a point, so she tries to heal her uncle even though it drains her.
- The guardians show up to rescue her, and in the commotion, Christian gets brutally attacked by psi-hounds. Lissa is too weak to heal someone else, so Rose gives her some of her own blood. What are friends for?
- Lissa heals Christian's wounds, one-by-one, until he's put back together again. She realizes how much she cares about him, so they get together.
- She decides to stop using her magic because it just takes too much out of her.
