Y/N Gilbert has spent over four hundred years avoiding Mystic Falls. When Damon Salvatore calls asking for help finding Stefan, she reluctantly returns home—only to cross paths with the Original Hybrid, Klaus Mikaelson. What begins as a simple favor quickly turns into something far more dangerous when Y/N and Klaus discover a mysterious bond neither of them can explain. As ancient secrets surface and tragedy strikes close to home, Y/N finds herself torn between revenge, family, and the one man she should never trust. In a town filled with vampires, witches, and werewolves, some enemies are impossible to ignore—and some bonds are impossible to break.
