Alchemist Sydney usually protects humans from vampires; her new mission is to hide Jill, the vampire queen's only surviving relative, from assassins at a human boarding school. Straight-laced Sydney, a secondary character from the Vampire Academy series, is more staid than butt-kicking Rose, but those books' engaging elements of magic, romance, and suspense carry over well.
