Sydney notes that Keith Darnell's father does not mind that Sydney calls Keith a corrupt and immoral person, but rather is glad that Sydney denied Keith being attached to vampires. This shows how messed up the Alchemist belief system is. However, Sydney has a long way to go before being able to let go of her beliefs. It is also noted that Sydney Sage has eating issues, noticed by most everyone but addressed directly only by Adrian Ivashkov.
This is a result of Sydney suffering through her father, Jared Sage , yelling at her that, "If those monsters the Moroi can do it, why can't you? This is very unfair, seeing as how Moroi are biologically born with the perfect, slim, model-like bodies, and no matter how hard Sydney tries or how much weight she loses, she will never be able to be like them.
It is stated by Adrian that you can see Sydney's ribs, and she eats less than expected and has an obsession with caffeine. Sydney loves architecture and cars, telling Adrian that if she had not been born an Alchemist , she would be studying Architecture in college and school. Sydney is very smart and can speak many languages, including Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, and Russian. Sydney is very intelligent. She can speak six languages and she has many tricks and techniques in getting rid of Strigoi bodies, such as a special potion that can turn a dead Strigoi corpse into dust so it is unrecognizable.
She has lots of contacts due to the fact that Alchemists must do "damage control" to keep the Vampire world hidden. Sydney knows a lot about cars and architecture, and she has outstanding grades and quite a vocabulary. She is very educated in history, culture, mathematics, and almost every subject known to man. However, her intelligence is sometimes intimidating, and Sydney often "dumbs down" things when speaking to people about them, because she gets the feeling they don't really care.
She confesses this to Adrian in The Golden Lily. Sydney can also play volleyball fairly well. She showed quick thinking when two Strigoi, Jacqueline and Dawn, drank from Adrain Ivashkov by using her fire amulet to incinerate them in Bloodlines.
However, she doesn't get all of Adrian's artistic skills and often thinks she is simply not artistic or abstract enough to understand his art. Sydney does not like magic, but is forced to learn it by her history teacher, who tricked her into an independent study for an elective. Despite everything, Sydney is said to have a natural talent or "knack" for magic. She is later seen learning magic, even becoming a witch, which comes very naturally to her.
Most of her intelligence comes from the rigorous home-schooling with her father, Jared. It is revealed. Sydney is shown to be a complete contrast to other characters as she is so tightly restrained and in control of her self. She had been taught all her life to fear vampires, and combined with Jared's stern teachings and lack of childhood, Sydney is dry and very serious.
She is also socially awkward suring the beginning of the series. Throughout out the series Sydney gradually loosens up and starts thinking that there may be a grey area with vampires, that maybe the relationship between Alchemists and vampires didn't have to be so black and white; either being 'with' the vampires or being 'against' them.
It is also noted Strigoi say her blood is inedible. Sydney first appeared in Blood Promise when she is forced to follow Rose and clean up the trail of Strigoi bodies she is leaving behind. Sydney is highly religious and at first is very critical of Rose and her "kind".
She classes Moroi and Dhampir as being almost as bad as Strigoi and tries her best to keep her distance. However, as time passes, the girls become closer and Sydney becomes a comfort to Rose, who's missing Lissa. Sydney also helps Rose find Dimitri Belikov's old town, as Rose is out seeking for Dimitri by then a Strigoi , and even manages to get help when they are attacked by Strigoi.
This happens in Russia, and it becomes very obvious there when Abe Mazur appears to help them that Sydney and Abe have some type of unpleasant history. Sydney talks with Rose via webcam, saying that files on Eric Dragomir were stolen from the Alchemists ' records. Sydney says the files are purely financial. She also comments that Adrian is "cute" for a Moroi. Sydney appears when she aids in Rose's escape from the Moroi prison because she ows Abe a favor. Dimitri , Rose, and Sydney continue traveling until reaching West Virginia.
For safety, Sydney takes them to a hotel, then to the Keepers , a strange group of Moroi, dhampirs, and humans that believe in keeping the old ways, hence the name "Keepers". When they found out that there was a relative who knew the child of Eric Dragomir Sonya Karp, Strigoi at that point , they headed to a place of Donovan's, told by a Strigoi that Dimitri once knew on the phone while he was faking Strigoi.
Rose and Dimitri made it seem like Sydney was a human servant for Strigoi so they could ambush them to get the information they needed. Sydney succeeded in luring the Strigoi out, and after the battle, Rose called Sydney brave even though Sydney didn't agree. After Sonya was changed back from a Strigoi by Robert, Sydney went for groceries and messed with Victor Dashkov's car.
Later, at Jill Mastrano 's house who turned out to be the illegitimate child , when the Guardians came, Rose and Dimitri fled, leaving Sydney to be taken by the Guardians to be questioned. Then, when Rose comes to find out information about the murder of Tatiana Ivashkov , she has Sydney flirt with an Alchemist to get him to speak. Afterwords, Adrian points out the consequences of Rose's sneaking with the possibility that Sydney might be in deep trouble with the Alchemists.
In Bloodlines Sydney is chosen instead of her sister Zoe to pose as Jill 's sister and roommate at their private school in Palm Springs. She is the protagonist in this series, and shares very strained relationships with her father, Jared Sage , and sister, Zoe. Sydney goes to Palm Springs in place of her sister, her intentions clear on protecting her sister from Keith , her father's ' golden boy' who raped her older sister, Carly Sage.
She begins to develop feelings towards Adrian Ivashkov throughout the book, despite the Alchemist teachings that were drilled into her head. She, Eddie, and Jill all attend a posh private school named Amberwood Prep, where she meets Trey Juarez, an intelligent though he tries hard to hide it football playing human whom Sydney befriends right away.
She also soon becomes friends with Kristi and Julia who take it upon themselves to teach Sydney high school social behaviour. Sydney helps Krisrti when she suffers from the side effect of the 'celestial' tattoo. Kristi is grearteful and helps Sydney stop the bullying that Jill receives by replacing Laurel 's shampoo with something else she made, therefore calling a truce between the two parties. After finding Adrian in a miserable state, she helps him find financial aid for art classes at Carlton College, once again blurring the line between necessary Alchemist business and unnecessary personal actions.
Sydney and Adrian team up to find out the supplier of the illegal ingredients for the tattoo parlor Nevermore, and her findings redeem her image within the Alchemist society.
It is also revealed that she has "foul" blood and has some kind of magic in her. Adrian becomes infatuated with her eyes and tells her that she is beautiful. Sydney becomes confused and is saved by the door opening, where Sonya Karp and Dimitri Belikov enter. They bring with them Angeline, one of the Keepers who will help keep an eye on Jill.
Sydney is at an underground rehabilitation center to testify whether Keith Darnell has served enough time for his criminal acts in Bloodlines. Sydney speaks the truth, stating that He Tension is in the air between Dimitri and Adrian, but thankfully, there are enough distractions to keep a brawl from occurring. There are no results with the visual or spirit magic tests worked on Dimitri and Eddie, and they decide to send in blood tests.
They ask Sydney for a blood sample Sonya and Dimitri as well, but with she declines, backed by Adrian, Alchemist fears coming back. That same day, Adrian asks her to drive him to San Diego to have a talk with his father.
When in San Diego, Sydney witnesses Adrian's father blaming Adrian for his mother being in jail and tearing apart Adrian's accomplishments, life, and personality. Knowing Adrian is miserable and drinking, she gets Sonya and Dimitri to talk to Lissa, and Lissa then tells Adrian's dad how amazing and wonderful Adrian is, and impressing Adrian's father to the point that he praises his son and increases his allowance. Nathan Ivashkov also spots him money to buy a car.
Sydney goes out with Brayden, introduced to by Trey as her 'soul mate', who is her intellectual match, and the two spend a nice time discussing Shakespeare and Academics. They plan for another date, and at the same time, Jill has began a relationship with a human boy named Micah after the tragic end with her previous boyfriend Lee. One night, while getting dinner, Sonya Karp and Sydney are both attacked by humans who still believe that Sonya Karp is Strigoi, and are trying to kill her.
They are saved by Dimitri Belikov, but find a sword left behind. The sword has many old Alchemist symbols imprinted on it ones that are no longer used in modern day alchemy. Sydney decides to look up self-defense spells and signs up for a self-defense class-Malachi Wolfe defense classes- with Adrian, which she thoroughly enjoys, though Adrian seems to have a hard time with it later this is revealed to be because of Adrian's romantic feelings for her, it is hard for him to deal with all the close physical contact, meaning 'everything' to him, and 'nothing' to her.
Later it is found out that the humans who attacked Sonya and Sydney are indeed vampire hunters, or, 'Warriors of the Light' as they call themselves.
Sydney agrees to give Sonya a sample of her blood, and the results say that Moroi found bits of all four elements in her blood, though why that is, is still unknown. Sydney brushes it off as the result of the golden lily tattoo which employs moroi magic and compulsion The vampire hunters then kidnap Sonya, causing Sydney to leave her date with Brayden early. She reluctantly uses a magic spell to find Sonya, and finds out that Trey Juarez is, indeed, a vampire hunter.
She makes a plan to save Sonya by talking the hunters out of it, when this fails, the guardians as well as Angeline , with Alchemist's assistance, invade the hunters' compound and escape with Sonya, whilst Adrian found and got out with Sydney after she was forced to leave in a separate direction than Eddie and Sonya.
Sydney later finds out that they were planning this invasion all along but no one told her, not even the Alchemists. This strengthens her suspicions of Alchemists and their principles. This causes the hunters to exile Trey and his family, but this causes no strain on Trey and Sydney's friendship. The romance between Sydney and Brayden is put to an abrupt end after Brayden calls her irresponsible and says the relationship will not work, which causes Sydney to start laughing.
Then Sydney drives over to Adrian's and explains what happens. This ends with Adrian confronting Sydney about her anorexic-like eating habits, and how she doesn't have to starve herself and such. When Sydney corners him about lying about not being able to drive manual transmission when he could, Adrian confesses he lied about it to spend more time with Sydney, and that he quit self-defense because the touching was too much.
They share a passionate kiss, but the moment is broken when Sydney realizes that it will never work, and her Alchemist beliefs come flooding back. Though she admits her heart is breaking, she walks away from Adrian with one last look. Sydney is awoken in the middle of the night by Jaclyn who needs Sydney help because she is a virgin.
Sydney and Jackie go out into the middle of desert where Jaclyn makes Sydney do a scrying spell on a full moon day to locate where her sister is currently staying. Sydney found that Jaclyn's sister was in the Los Angeles area in an old Victorian house. The next day, Jaclyn gives Sydney an old spell book of offensive spells as Sydney was going to Sonya and Mikhail's wedding in Philadephia, at the airport she finds that her seat has been taken by a group of orphan children inside she has been sent to another plane where she is in first class.
Once in the plane, she finds that she is sitting next to Adrian who had been moody with her since their kiss and her rejecting him. On the plane Adrian surprises Sydney by telling her that he will continue to love her from afar and that he is sure that one of these days, Sydney will agree that she loves him too. At the wedding, Sydney spots Rose who is a bridesmaid at the wedding.
Sitting with two other Alchemist Donna Stanton and Ian Jansen, as Sydney is uncomfortable with the last member that is sitting at their table, Abe Mazur. During the wedding Adrian invites Sydney to dance with him to which Staton agrees that it is the right thing to do in the light of amending the relationship between Moroi and Alchemist. During the dance, Sydney tell him that she has a way to find Marcus Finch using the photo that Clarence gave and a scrying spell she recently used. Adrian goes out and buys several herbs that she needs for the spell.
An hour later, Sydney does the spell and finding that Marcus is living in a run down apartment building to which Adrian finds as Santa Barbara even showing Sydney a picture of it. Running low on sugar levels, Adrian makes her drink a mouth full of Kaluha which he claimed with coffee flavored. In her dress, Sydney becomes cold and Adrian gives her his coat.
While returning they are confronted by Sonya who can sense something between the two. Sydney complains that even Sonya thinks that there is something romantic between the two of them, and Adrian ruefully tells thay she is obsessed with him and in love with him. Back in Palm Springs, Jaclyn tells Sydney that her sister is on loose and is targeting young witches with magical potential to gain their magic and youth, leaving them comatose.
Jaclyn assigns Sydney the task to give magical amulets to those five young magic users in order to concele their magical abilities. On that afternoon, Sydney goes out to find Marcus. She successfully breaks into his appartment using magic. Marcus, confusing her for someone else attacks her and they end up in a brawl only to be stopped by Sabrina, Marcus's spy in the 'Warriors if Light', pointing a gun at Sydney.
He offers Sydney the chance to escape the Alchemist's forever and join of ex-Alchemists. Because of the injuries that Sydney caused Marcus she offers to take him to Adrian's because he can heal Marcus. At Adrian's apartment he is pleased that she found Marcus but then seeing that he had harmed Sydney, Adrian attacks Marcus out of pure rage. Sydney is amazed at Adrian begin so protective over her, to this she takes him into his bedroom and tells him about helping her find the other young witches and also that Jackie's sister is after her; Adrian agrees to help but angered that Sydney didn't tell him earlier.
At college party, Adrian makes Sydney a fiery heart t-shirt this leads to them passionately kissing on the floor of the college party, but only to find out that the witch that they were suppose to warn had been attacked and become comatose.
Jackie's begins to take Sydney out to a national park where they practice fire spells. Marcus, with two more ex-Alchemists, meets up with Sydney. He tells her that they know for sure that Warriors of Light are involved with Alchemists but there is no hard proof.
He tells her that if she can get that proof, video footage from the Alchemist archives, she can become one of them, and have the compelling lily tattoo broken.
She agrees to this. With very helpful tips from Adrian, she is successfully seduces and lures Ian Jansen, an Alchemist with a huge crush on Sydney, in getting her in the headquarters where she steals video footage of one of the head Alchemists in talks with the head of the Warriors, confirming that the Alchemist had lied to her. Marcus then breaks her Golden Lily officially breaking her away from the Alchemists but to finally be free she needs too go to Mexcio to have another indigo tattoo inked over it.
One day out with Adrian at the national park, Sydney makes a Callistana, a dragon which sees both Sydney and Adrian as its parents.
Veronica begins visiting Sydney in her dreams, causing Adrian to create Spirit Dreams to protect Sydney from her. Once again they both visit the old hotel, where they find that Veronica had left very quickly.
Sydney makes her mind up that she is going with Marcus and the others to Mexico, deeply hurting Adrian to the point where he got drunk. Several nights later, Jaclyn does not answer her mobile causing Sydney to panic, she gets Adrian to drive her to Jaclyn's house where they find that Alicia was the one that harmed Veronica and the other witches and wanted to comatose Jaclyn.
Sydney fights Alicia and to the point where she defeats Alicia but she is happy that she didn't kill her. They both find Jaclyn in the grass just near her house. Sydney is packing to go with Marcus, before she leaves Jill gives her a letter that Adrian gave her but also tells her that Adrian doesn't see her as just another conqeust and truly does love her.
With the advice from Wolfe she decides not to go with Marcus but stay with Adrian and the others, telling Marcus that she is in love. With Adrian's letter she works out that they are a location in a Greek and Roman museum. At this Sydney and Adrian spend their first day as a couple in the museum and have a fondue dinner. Driving back to Amberwood, Sydney feels disappointed that she has to leave Adrian for the night.
But once inside the dorms she finds her younger sister, Zoe, as a junior Alchemist and along with a new dhampir guardian Neil Raymond! Sydney is seen sitting on Adrian's bed reading a baby-name book in only her pants and bra. She tells Adrian that she needs to find a magical name for her initiation into the Stelle Coven. It is seen that they have been secretly dating for a month. Sydney takes Hopper from Adrian for a week, missing Hopper being around her.
Sydney tells Adrian that she loves him deeply and doesn't want to leave him. That night she goes to the initiation into the witch coven. There Sydney is made a member of the Stelle Coven, by the leader Maude, where she names herself in the Coven as Lolanthe. Throughout the night, Sydney can't stop thinking about Adrian and how she is worried about his sanity with Spirit Darkness.
Also that same night, Sydney's mother rings her telling her about the divorce, to which Sydney's isn't surprised about but is supportive of her mother rather than her father. Though, she can't tell Zoe that yet. Sydney's birthday is nearing and Adrian is thinking about what gift he can buy her. He asks her to make time for him on her birthday but they both know it is very difficult because they will have to be evasive of Zoe.
Nonetheless, she promises him that she will be there. Adrian is still taking classes at the Carlton College, and is working on an assignment-a self portrait. Zoe confronts Sydney about all the time she is spending with her history teacher and running errands for her. Sydney defends herself telling that history is the only subject she had not studied already and how interesting it is.
After some days she finally gets to meet an old formidable witch Inez. After talking to her, Sydney realizes that the indigo ink Marcus used to seal the golden lily tattoo is charmed with human magic and she can reproduce it with the right substrate. This research preoccupies her and results in decreasing the time she gets to spend with Zoe, which further breaches the bond between the sisters.
Sydney tries to do 'damage control' by letting Zoe drive the new SUV whenever possible. Few days later, Jared sage, Sydney's father suddenly turns up in palm springs.
Him, Zoe, and Sydney go for an early dinner to have a talk about the divorce. There, Jared instructed them about the testimony they were supposed to give at the hearing regarding the divorce. He also tells Sydney that she is doing okay, which is as close to praising as he can get.
Zoe craving her dad's attention , unable to bare her sister being praised and herself being ignored, decides to tell upon Sydney to their father. She tells him that Sydney is spending a lot of time with her teacher and is apparently hanging out with her.
She also tells that Sydney is getting too comfortable with the vampires and the dhampirs. This leads to Jared chastising Sydney. She is angry at her sister. The sisters drifted further apart. Sydney successfully infuses rock salt with magic and makes the ink. Then, Adrian and Sydney are called to the royal court to work on the strigoi vaccine. There she gets the required alchemist compounds to prepare another tattoo for Trey to test the success of the first.
She also learns about dabbling and Adrian confesses that he had done it only once. She is angry with him. One night, Wesley and two other royals try to get Sydney to go with them so that they can drink her blood. Adrian appears to the rescue and hits Wesley in his head with treejitsu. The matter taken up by the guardians and the wrongdoers are punished, but Sydney, Adrian and Neil were sent off back to palm springs, right when Sydney had forgiven Adrian and they were about to get intimate.
In the court, Neil was tattooed with Olive's recently restored strigoi blood as a defense against turning strigoi. While on the way back to palm springs, the car skids off the road and they are stuck on the road in the snow. So that they don't freeze from the cold, Sydney creates a fireball which is witnessed by Neil. After being tattooed, Neil is eager to test it and convinces Sydney and Eddie to track a strigoi and lure him into turning him.
A few days later, on her birthday, Sydney visits Adrian. Zoe also wanted to spend the day with her sister, so they had had a fight about it and Sydney finally convinced Zoe that they will spend the weekend together. After the gumbo dinner that Adrian put together with the help of his college friends Rowena and Cassie, they spend the rest of the night in the backseat of Sydney's Mazda since the mustang is out of commission with their clothes lying on the floor.
With the material she brought back from the court, Sydney prepares the alchemist compulsion tattoo ink she had gotten the moroi blood charmed by Abe back at court. She also learns to use the tattooing needle. It fails in compelling him and thus, her rock salt sealing ink was successful.
Therefore, she starts producing the ink in large quantity for Marcus and his Merry Men. There were some complications with the strigoi so they had to move the date of their hunt up.
The day of the hunt happens to be the day Sydney promised Zoe that they will spend together. This yet again resulted in a fight between the sisters. Sydney, Eddie and Neil successfully find the strigoi. But that strigoi turns out to be very old and very strong.
They are on a stalemate when Jill, Angeline, and Trey arrive and successfully kill the strigoi. The group is out past curfew so they decide to spend the night out. But Sydney wanted to go to Adrian so they drop her off at his house and head on their way to a twenty four hours restaurant. Next morning, Zoe is very, very upset with Sydney, so Sydney lets her be alone for some time to cool off. Later that evening, she has to deliver the sealing ink to Marcus, so she heads off to Ms.
Terwilliger's house. She receives a massage from Adrian's lost phone telling her that there was a last minute change in the plan. She thinks that as usual, to avoid the alchemists, Marcus changed the location at the last minute.
She is also happy that Adrian could find his lost phone. At the new location she and Eddie are ambushed by the alchemists. Zoe had reported her sister after finding Adrian's phone and their texts in the car. Sydney is captured and taken to the re-education center. She finally gets out of her isolation in re-education by confessing she fell in love with a vampire, although she only confesses in hopes of being able to be free of the sleeping drug and have Adrian talk to her in her dreams.
During one of her re-education classes, she speaks out about Moroi defense against the Strigoi, and is sent to a purging session meant to negatively condition Moroi with illness. One of her fellow inmates in re-education, Duncan , befriends her and warns her about several things in re-education. Eventually, Sydney finds a way to work magic to prevent the Alchemist group loyalty compulsion from taking hold and charms some salt ink for that purpose.
Eventually, Adrian is able to talk to her in their dreams and she suggests that he talk to Carly and find out where Keith is, in hopes of finding where her re-education center is. She manages to steal an Alchemist's ID card and disables the gas on her floor, but is caught by Sheridan, who tries to torture answers out of her.
When Sydney refuses to talk, Emma's brought in and tortured and Sydney confesses that she used magic to sneak around. As a result, Sheridan has Sydney moved to the "persuasion" floor where she continues to suffer more torture. During the rescue mission, Adrian and Eddie break into the fourth floor and free her. The fire spread more quickly than expected, so Sydney uses her magic so they can make it through the fire and escape.
She takes back her cross necklace from Sheridan before everyone flees the re-education facility. Sydney convinces Adrian to not take them to the safe house because she feels that she'll endanger Marcus and the other freed prisoners. They end up going to Nevada and when Alchemists show up pretending to be housekeeping, she casts a spell as a distraction and flees with Adrian to the Witching Hour in Las Vegas. She comes up with a distraction so that the Alchemists will be forced off the hotel premises for a bit.
Adrian proposes to her, on the basis that if they're married, the Moroi will protect both of them. She accepts and they get married in a Tuscan chapel, with Adrian giving her an engagement ring with rubies from his aunt's cufflinks.
They have to flee from the Alchemists after their wedding and the Alchemists catch up with them as they're about to take a helicopter, with Sheridan holding Adrian as hostage with a gun. Sydney uses magic to form a wall of fire to entrap Sheridan's colleagues to force Sheridan to release Adrian and they continue to Court by helicopter.
The Alchemists demand that Sydney be handed over to them. Sydney's father tries to take Sydney away but Dimitri blocks him. Lissa declares that she'll grant both Sydney and Adrian sanctuary as long as they're at Court, and Adrian's father insults Sydney by calling her a "feeder. Sydney and Adrian spend their wedding night at a guest suite.
The next morning, Rose and Dimitri inform them that Jill has gone missing and that with her missing, Lissa could lose her throne. Sydney, Adrian, and Daniella are living together in a house at Court. Adrian and Sydney have an argument over him using Spirit. Adrian says he needs to go outside where he is attacked by Wesley Drozdov and others.
Eddie and Neil, who were on their way to Sydney and Adrian's house, help Adrian get away from the fight. Eddie informs Sydney and Adrian that Ms. Terwilliger is coming to visit. Terwilliger enters with a cat carrier and a small box. She tells Sydney that the box was sent to her address but she has tried every unlocking spell with no success and therefore after visiting Inez, she deduced that the box must have been sent for Sydney.
She also finds a photograph of Jill in a magazine taken by a designer in Palm Springs. Sydney decides that she must go find Jill and eventually convinces Adrain that he must stay at Court as cover. She decides that Eddie will go with her and Ms. Terwilliger and Sydney create a spell to help escape the protected community.
As part of the spell, Sydney transforms into Mr. Bogangles the cat and the real cat stays with Daniella and Adrian. Sydney escapes successfully. Once he and Neil visit Nina and see what state she really is in, Adrian says he will help but only if Nina accepts a sedative from Sonya. Sydney, Ms. Terwilliger, and Eddie visit the Museum of Robotics. They soon discover the display that was featured on the flyer is enchanted and decide to come back later when the museum is closed.
When they come back and break into the museum and enter the exhibit they are attacked by Fotianas mutant fireflies.
After they deal with the Fotianas, Sydney finds a brick, a map and a lock of Jill's hair in a manila envelope. Rose visits Adrian and Sydney, unaware that Syndey is no longer there. After many excuses from Adrian, Rose takes him to a Dhampir training area where a group of Moroi warriors put on a display which they aim to show to the Moroi council to convince them of a Moroi warrior program in schools.
When Adrian returns home, after having some trouble sleeping, he is pulled into a spirit dream by Nina. They try to locate Nina's sister Olive but fail. Meanwhile, Sydney and the others investigate Ha Ha Tonka, the place from which the brick was stolen.
Sydney uses an invisibility spell to allow Eddie to retrieve what appears to be a golden brick. They camp just outside of the national park but in the middle of the night, Eddie wakes Sydney as the gold starts to burn through grass and stone.
Eddie notices that the shape that the brick cools down to matches that of the Salton Sea. The molten brick then explodes into shards nearly hitting Sydney, Eddie, and Ms. Terwilliger but Adrian spontaneously shows up and stops the shards. From the spell, they learn that Alicia DeGraw is still alive. Terwilliger decides that it would be safer for Sydney and Adrian to stay away from Palm Springs whilst she and Eddie go and investigate with the help of Stelle.
Adrian and Sydney have an argument over Adrian helping Nina with her spirit dream. They both travel to Iowa and stay at the Black Squirrel Lodge.
When going for a shower Sydney finds Cashew The black squirrel in the bathroom and after some chasing around, Adrian and Sydney get rid of Cashew and have sex. After he falls asleep Nina pulls Adrian into a spirit dream where they fight Strigoi. The amount of spirit is too much for Nina, both because of the high amount and because of the physical and mental toll all the searching for Olive has put on her. Nina collapses and starts screaming. Whilst the dream is fading, Olive has lost her control over the dream and this allows Adrian to see the pendant that she is wearing as well as the fact that she is pregnant.
After Adrian wakes up and tells Sydney about Olive's pregnancy, they receive a phone call from Sonya who tells them about Nina's stage but also about the fact that she knows neither Adrian nor Sydney are at Court.
They have a video call with Lissa, Sonya, Rose, and Dimitri during which Sydney explains what they found out so far in relation to Jill's kidnapping. When Sydney sees Adrian, she tells Rose she thinks he's cute. Adrian describes her as looking 'uptight' after she leaves with the other Alchemists. He later mentions her as one of the "victims" of Rose's happy ending. At the beginning Sydney dislikes Adrian because he is a Moroi , but later on they become friends when she finds him smoking outside of Clarence's house.
They begin talking; when Sydney calls him brilliant, Adrian begins to tease her and screams out that Sydney thinks he is brilliant. One night, Sydney is wakened by Jill telling her to go get Adrian, who is stuck at Long Beach after a night of partying. Sydney goes to pick up him up and comforts him, but tells him that drinking doesn't take away anything. It is during this time that she also finds out Adrian brought Jill back from the dead, making her Shadow-Kissed, which she finds brave and selfless of Adrian.
They quickly become friends as Sydney spends large amounts of time at Clarence 's House; she notes that she likes spending time with Adrian. Together they help each other find out the reason for the tattoos at Nevermore, when Adrian distracts the tattooist for Sydney while she investigates. Sydney offers to help Adrian get out of Clarence's home and into his own place, and also helps him enroll in college for art.
Together, they find out that Keith has been the one giving vampire blood to Nevermore for the tattoos. At Jill's fashion show, Sydney and Adrian bicker with each other. In the end, they have become close friends.
After all the shenanigans Sydney accommodates Adrian in an apartment. She later visits his apartment where Adrian says that Sydney eyes are beautiful and that she is beautiful and also that he can paint those. Sydney and Adrian seem to have grown closer, shown by him sending her a text that makes her laugh, which is said to be a rare thing. When Sydney comes to Clarence's house, Adrian is overjoyed to see her and even gives her a diet coke that he promised to give her.
While back at Amberwood, Trey Juarez sets Sydney up with his friend Brayden Cartwright , who is said to be her intellectual match. When Sonya asks Sydney to give up her blood to be tested on, Adrian becomes highly protective of her and tells them that they cannot as she doesn't want to, which Sydney feels grateful towards him for. Adrian asks her to drive him to San Diego to meet his father so that he can get into contact with his imprisoned mother. Sydney agrees to drive him and accompanies him to see his father, where she witnesses Nathan Ivashkov rip up everything Adrian has ever done or tried to do.
At this point, Sydney defends Adrian by telling Nathan that his son is a special person. To cheer him up, she buys him a slushy, but also buys herself one to please him, despite her not eating anything with sugar in it. She also states that the slushy is sugar free, even though she says it coats her mouth in sugar. She questions if it was worth it for Adrian and then realizes it was worth it for her. When back in Palm Springs, Sydney asks Sonya and Dimitri to talk to Lissa about convincing Nathan that Adrian is trying to improve; due to this Nathan gives his son money and a car.
At the Halloween Dance, Adrian calls Sydney and askes her to drive him back to his apartment because he was drunk. She leaves her date with Brayden to take Adrian home, where the power is out. He tells her that he drinks to keep the Spirit at bay or else he will go insane, but Sydney tells him he is not going to go that way. Adrian asks her why she asked Sonya and Dimitri to help him, and she tells him that she wanted to help him because she felt helping him was a good thing.
They nearly share a kiss, but the power returns. He says that he doesn't like Brayden because when he saw her, he wouldn't say she was "historically inaccurate", he would say "you're the most beautiful creature walking this earth".
They both sign up for a self-defense class, but Adrian is reluctant to touch Sydney and eventually quits. Adrian's car is a manual, but he pretends he doesn't know how to drive a manual in order to spend time with Sydney, as he has fallen deeply in love with her. After Brayden breaks up with Sydney, she instantly goes over to Adrian's, where he confronts her about her eating habits, but she corners him about his lying regarding manual driving. To this, Adrian tells her that he made up things just so that he could spend time with her.
Afterwards, Adrian kisses Sydney and she kisses him back, thinking that when she kisses Adrian all thoughts of logic and reason leave her mind Page However, she breaks off the kiss and tells him that they can't be together because she is human and he is a vampire, alongside her beliefs in the system of the Alchemist.
Adrian tells her that he is the only one that truly and perfectly understands her, but despite this Sydney walks away, looking back at Adrian as her heart breaks. Sydney continues to avoid Adrian, and he is moody around her because of her rejection.
