A thousand years before New Orleans became known for vampires, there existed another species far older and far more powerful—the Elementals, beings born from the Earth itself to protect the balance of nature. Among them were the Kokkinos quadruplets : Bellatrix, Sirius , Orian, and Regulus, who once lived beside the Mikaelsons long before immortality ever touched their family. Their older sister, Alaura, was promised to Elijah Mikaelson, binding the two families together, until her sudden death changed everything. After the Mikaelsons became vampires, they took the orphaned quadruplets in as their own, raising them through centuries of war, betrayal, and bloodshed. But while vampires became legends, the Elementals became hunted. Feared for their connection to the Earth and the immense power flowing through their veins, they were relentlessly pursued by witches desperate to channel their magic. Five hundred years ago, an ancient witch who had spent her life hunting Elementals finally succeeded in trapping the quadruplets in an enchanted slumber, burying them away from the world. Now, after centuries of silence, the spell has finally broken—and the awakening of the Kokkinos quadruplets may bring back a power the supernatural world was never meant to survive. But the quadruplets are the most unserious, sarcastic and chaotic creatures.
