The narrative revolves around a 17-year-old Dhampir—a being that is half-human and half-vampire—named Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch). She serves as a guardian-in-training for her royal best friend, Princess Lissa Dragomir (Lucy Fry), who belongs to the Moroi—the peaceful, mortal vampires who are not harmed by daylight but require blood to sustain their existence.
