English Summary/英文概要:
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 這個世界除了人類,還存在著3個種族。他們分別是:
拜爾族: 人類與吸血鬼(莫里族)的混血。吸血鬼獵人拜爾族(Dhampir)。他們比人類的思維和行動更要敏捷迅速。
Dhampir (half human, half vampire –源自吸血鬼百科全書(The Vampire Encyclopedia)。傳說Dhampir出生自具有強大力量之吸血鬼和人類寡婦所生的小孩。)
血族: 不死、殘酷、邪惡的亡靈,永生的吸血鬼,血族(Strigoi)
Strigoi (此字是根據羅馬文字中的『strix』,源自於羅馬統治時期一種全身筋腱突出,在夜間活動的怪物。)
莫里族: 純種吸血鬼,但並非長生不死,他們和人類一樣會長大變老,他們吸血但不殺害人類,唯一使他們致命的是陽光和血族的追殺。莫里族(Moroi)能控制大自然的五種元素,火、水、土、風和意念精神(Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Spirit)。 拜爾族(Dhampir)一生的職責就是要保護莫里族(Moroi)。他們被訓練成吸血鬼獵人,專門獵殺血族(Strigoi),是莫里族人天生的守護者。而這些冷酷無情的血族不死亡靈,唯一能真正殺死他們的只有莫里族所掌握的自然五元素。故事隨著吸血鬼種族之間的戰爭而展開。
魔法學院 - 聖弗拉米爾(St. Vladimir’s Academy),是給未成年的莫里族及拜爾族一起上學的地方,學校地點隱密、戒備森嚴為了是要防止血族的入侵。
這間學院的事跡,是解開此故事謎團的關鍵之一,在莫里族的數量急速減少之下,聖弗拉米爾學院是他們的避難之處、也是學習魔法訓練的地方。
Series 1: 每一位拜爾族都有特定指示來擔任莫里族的守護者。故事從蘿絲和莉莎,兩位吸血鬼的故事開始…
拜爾族的蘿絲 · 海瑟薇與莫里族的貴族之女莉莎,兩年前因為在聖弗拉米爾的壓力、流言蜚語、不同種族的人際關係和遭受無名的威脅之下,決定避開嚴密的戒備,逃離聖弗拉米爾。但是兩年後在守護者拜爾族的捕捉之下,她們最終還是回到學院。一般拜爾族的學生還沒有特定的保護對象,不過蘿絲和莉莎的感情非比尋常,她們之間有一種特別的聯繫,蘿絲可以感應到莉莎的情緒變化。在聖弗拉米爾這間充滿陰謀和權力鬥爭的地方,兩人不但要面對學院的壓迫,還要防備血族的追捕。而蘿絲始終肩負著保護莉莎不受各類危險侵害的職責。
想統治世界的血族,為了殲滅整個純種吸血鬼,甚至連莉莎的父母也因而不能倖免於難。但是成為孤兒的莉莎,卻還是持續受到血族的脅迫。莉莎回到聖弗拉米爾在眾人保護之下,卻突然離奇失蹤,到底莉莎擁有什麼,使得血族棄而不捨、不願放過她? 是她會控制自然元素的力量,還是她的血液裡隱藏不為人知的秘密。
蘿絲和莉莎兩人產生的曖昧情愫又該何去何從。蘿絲是否可以即時拯救莉莎的性命?
故事情節錯綜複雜,精彩好看更勝《暮光之城》。(CL)

此系列正被‘吸血鬼日记’电视剧的创作者之一Julie Plec拍成影视剧。 Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy is being adapted for a streaming series by the co-creator of the Vampire Diaries tv show, Julie Plec! https://ew.com/tv/vampire-diaries-julie-plec-vampire-academy-series-peacock/
About the Author/作者介绍: Scorpio Richelle Mead is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy books for both adults and teens. Originally from Michigan, Richelle now lives in Seattle, Washington where she works on her three series full-time. Before becoming a writer, she considered a few different career paths. She received a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan, an MA in Comparative Religion from Western Michigan University, and a Master in Teaching (Middle & High School English) degree from the University of Washington. In the end, she decided writing was the way for her but believes all of her education prepared her for it.
A life-long 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 bad reality TV, traveling, trying interesting cocktails, and shopping for dresses that she then hardly ever wears. She is a self-professed coffee addict, runs on a nocturnal schedule, and has a passion for all things wacky and humorous.
Richelle’s YA series, Vampire Academy, is published by Razorbill Books (Penguin) and thus far contains Vampire Academy, Frostbite, and Shadow Kiss. This bestselling series has won honors from the American Library Association and been on a number of lists. It follows the war between two races of vampires, living and undead. Rose Hathaway, a 17-year old half-vampire, is training to be a bodyguard for the living vampires and finds her life complicated by the dangers that involves, as well as an illicit romance with one of her teachers.
