Adeline Gilbert never meant to become a thread binding the deadliest family in history to the people she loves. But with Mystic Falls spiraling deeper into Original-sized chaos, Addie finds herself trapped in the center of every storm.
Fresh off betrayal, broken trust, and a deal that cost her freedom, Addie is forced back home under Klaus and Henrik's watchful eyes. Her sister isn't sure she can be saved. And the Originals... they're getting far too comfortable keeping her close.
Every choice Addie makes tugs on both sides of a tightening rope. Help the Salvatores, and she risks Klaus's wrath. Stand with the Mikaelsons, and she risks losing Elena for good. Worse, the more time she spends with them, the more she begins to see the cracks beneath their cruelty, the grief beneath their violence, and the haunting possibility that she might actually belong somewhere among them.
But Mystic Falls is no safe harbor. Enemies rise. Loyalties break. Ancient family wars awaken. And Addie isn't just caught between them anymore. She's becoming part of the fight.
To protect the people she loves, Addie may have to step deeper into the darkness of the Originals than she ever intended. And if she makes the wrong move, she won't just lose her freedom.
She'll lose everyone.
