He takes her under his wing, oblivious to the fact that she's in love with him. Since she's out of prison, she comes and takes him to the Moroi Court, where he meets Nina Sinclair again. Meanwhile, Adrian is still searching for her in his dreams, but sporadically, and is losing heart because he never connects, so he turns to drinking again. She is still resisting their mind games, holding onto Adrian's love for her, until they start talking about letting her see her family if she admits she has been corrupted, making her think that if she's out of reflection, she might be able to see Adrian in a dream.

The novel starts with Sydney Sage in re-education, still in her dark cell, called reflection time by the Alchemists. It is the second in the series to be told from dual perspectives. Silver Shadows is the fifth book in the Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead.
