It has been four years since Stefan has left Mystic Falls, due to all the drama and life threatening situations. There's also the fact of Elena leaving him for his brother, Damon and while he was rotting in a quarry, dying and drowning over and over again for the past three months, they were living happily together, along with the others.

Bound by Blood & Magic: A Caroline Forbes Story Caroline Forbes was never meant to be ordinary. Born into a non-magical bloodline, she carries a secret that even she doesn't fully understand-a power tied to a 2,000-year-old talisman once belonging to Silas Salvatore. Long ago, Silas stole the magic of his bloodline, sealing it away, and prophesied that one day, a child would be born to unlock its power. That child is Caroline. Struggling with her siphoning abilities in secret, Caroline turns to Bonnie's Grams for guidance. But magic isn't the only battle she faces. Beneath her bright smile lies a storm-OCD, GAD, DID, Schizophrenia, Autism, and Depression-burdens she carries alone, hidden even from her mother. When Stefan Salvatore arrives in Mystic Falls, Caroline is captivated by him, dreaming of a future together. But her heart shatters when he chooses Elena over her. In a moment of unexpected magic, she accidentally siphons from Stefan, shocking them both and revealing a truth she was never meant to uncover-he's a vampire. As secrets unravel, friendships are tested, and darkness looms over Mystic Falls, Caroline must navigate a world where she is more than just a teenage girl-she is a siphoner tied to a legacy of lost magic, an unfolding prophecy, and a battle that could change everything. Magic is calling. Bloodlines will awaken. And Caroline Forbes' story is only just beginning.
