Synopsis
The Ruby Circle is the final installment in Richelle Mead's Bloodlines series. The story follows Sydney Sage, an Alchemist who has come to bridge the human and vampire worlds despite her organization's rigid rules, and her forbidden romance with the Moroi royal Adrian Ivashkov. When their relationship is fully exposed, both face steep opposition from the Alchemists and the Moroi alike, and the situation escalates further when someone close to the couple is endangered, prompting Sydney to pursue a dangerous former enemy for answers. Alongside this, Sydney and Adrian uncover a mysterious puzzle connected to spirit magic that could reveal unsettling truths about the wider Moroi world.
