but what does It mean to be shadow-kIssed?

several weeks have passed . . . My Job is to get

you ready to defend the princess and fight dark

creatures, right?

Yep. So tell me this: You and Lissa are at

the mall and a Strigoi comes at you. What do

you do?

Depends what store

we’re in.

Fine. i’ll stab him with a silver stake.

Oh? Do you have a silver

stake?

And with Vladimir always is

Anna, the daughter of Fyodor.

Their love is as chaste and

pure as that of brother and

sister, and many times has she

defended him from Strigoi who

would seek to destroy him and

his holiness. Likewise, it is she

who comforts him when the

spirit becomes too much to bear,

and Satan,s darkness tries to

smother him and weaken his

own health and body. This, too,

she defends against, for they

have been bound together ever

since he saved her life as a child.

It is a sign of God,s love that He

has sent the blessed Vladimir a

guardian such as her, one who is

shadow-kissed and always knows

what is in her heart and mind. Do you even know how to

use one?
