However, he quickly proves that despite his reputation, he can be sweet and chivalrous despite the misunderstanding about his flirtatious nature. He isn’t enrolled at St. Vladimir’s, but he decides to live at the Academy and work with Lissa to learn more about their mysterious element once he learns that Lissa is also a spirit user. As the books progress, it becomes obvious that Adrian genuinely cares for Rose. They have a brief relationship in Spirit Bound.
