In the shadows of Mystic Falls, Aella Bennett isn't just another witch. As a half-Bennett, half-elemental, her power is raw and complex, her destiny bound to the vampire-fueled chaos consuming her hometown. Orphaned young and raised by her formidable grandmother, Aella believed she understood her family's legacy and the dangers that came with it. But as she steps deeper into the supernatural world of Mystic Falls, she discovers secrets that push her loyalties and strength to the limit. Thrust into a world where ancient feuds and dark magic threaten her loved ones, Aella finds herself drawn to Stefan Salvatore, balancing love with the risk of her growing powers. As her abilities awaken, Katherine Pierce returns, making Mystic Falls a deadly maze of betrayal and manipulation. Through heartbreak and unexpected betrayal within her own family, Aella learns the limits of her power-and the strength she didn't know she had. But with darkness closing in, for Aella Bennett, death may just be the beginning.

When a solicitor comes knocking, there are a few responses. One) you ignore them. Two) you open the door and tell them to go away. And three) you set your massive guard dogs on them. Personally, I was in favor of ignoring the problem until it went away. But somehow, in this last decade, when my life became messed up, I was no longer able to use option one, two, or three. Karma was a bigger problem than I thought and, well damn, this could not be my life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DISCLAIMER - I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES OR THE ORIGINALS.
