Rousseau's Bar has always been neutral ground in the French Quarter - the kind of place where secrets flow smoother than the bourbon. Bella Hale likes it that way. A witch with a powerful bloodline and a quiet past, she keeps her head down and her magic quiet.
But when Klaus Mikaelson returns to New Orleans and takes a seat at her bar, old wounds stir. Not just for him, not just for Marcel - the city's self-proclaimed king - but for Bella, too.
He looks at her like he's seen a ghost.
Marcel looks at her like he remembers.
And Bella? She's not sure what she wants them to see.
In a city where loyalty shifts like smoke and power is always up for grabs, Bella walks the line - between past and present, love and legacy, Marcel and Klaus.
And sooner or later, someone will make her choose.
