Vampire Academy is a series of six young adult paranormal romance novels by American author Richelle Mead. It tells the story of Rosemarie "Rose" Hathaway, a dhampir girl, who is training to be a guardian of her moroi best friend, Vasilisa "Lissa" Dragomir. In the process of learning how to defeat strigoi in St. Vladimir's Academy, Rose finds herself caught in a forbidden romance with her instructor, Dimitri Belikov, while having an unbreakable psychic bond with Lissa.[1]

The first book in the series, Vampire Academy, was published in 2007; it was followed by Frostbite in 2008.[2][3] The third book in the series, Shadow Kiss was also published in 2008, and the fourth book, Blood Promise, was published in 2009.[4][5] The fifth book, Spirit Bound, and the sixth book, Last Sacrifice, were released in 2010.[6][7] As of 2013, the series had sold 8 million copies in 35 countries.[8]

The first book in the series was adapted into a film directed by Mark Waters, starring Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, Danila Kozlovsky and Dominic Sherwood, released by The Weinstein Company on February 7, 2014. The film was a financial and critical failure.[8] A reboot television series, co-developed by Julie Plec, debuted on September 15, 2022 on Peacock. [9] It was canceled after one season.
