Quick recap
Sydney is still undercover in Palm Springs, protecting Jill Dragomir from people who want to plunge the Moroi court into civil war. Once in disgrace, she's now praised as a model Alchemist. But living alongside Jill, Eddie and Adrian makes Sydney question what she was taught about vampires, about family and about where she belongs. Magic experiments suggest she may hold the key to keeping people from turning Strigoi, and being that special is what she fears most. Sydney starts dating Brayden, who seems perfect for her, but she can't get Adrian out of her head. A secret threatens the vampire world, and she has to choose between the Alchemists and her own heart.
