Madeline Sage Saltzman, a vampire hunter and adoptive daughter of Alaric Saltzman, did not know what was in store for her when she entered Mystic Falls. Each passing day meant more potential dangers emerging. How will she handle it when she falls in...
"VAMPIRES ARE MYTHS" — that is what ignorant people say so children can sleep at night, unaware of the supernatural creatures roaming the Earth. Madeline was not one of those people. At a young age, she had her suspicions.
One night, they became a reality when she arrived home with her father, eager to start the movie marathon her mother promised earlier. Instead of being greeted by her mother's gentle smile, she was met with a gruesome sight after clambering up the stairs. Vigorously draining Isobel of her blood, a blue-eyed vampire dined without a care in the world, sinking his fangs into her neck.
She would never forget those sharp blue eyes, haunted by nightmares. They became the source of all her hatred.
Channeling all her anger, she pledged to find the vampire that took her mother away. Day by day, she trained with her father, becoming more knowledgeable about the world's hidden secrets.
Since that harrowing day, as father and daughter, Alaric and Madeline Saltzman have journeyed from place to place until they reached Mystic Falls, assuming they would be out of there soon enough. Unknowingly, they would stick around, but there is no guarantee they would make it out alive.
