Niklaus Mikaelson: determined, calculative, reckless. The sage man possessed attributes necessary for centuries-long survival. He had his given family. He had his acquired power. And he most certainly had control. One thing Niklaus Mikaelson did not have, was a pack. The less than honorable hybrid was no stranger to disguised foes and although cautious, Niklaus Mikaelson was most certainly not a quitter. One night, across a sea of deceased bodies, he meets a young girl who will give him everything he has always yearned for.
Maxine Mitchell: stubborn, callous, meticulous. The hardened girl had lived such a short life with such loneliness. Abandonment was a reoccurring theme across the board of friendships she had formed throughout her time on this earth. A pessimist from birth, Maxine Mitchell's opinion was not one to be swayed so effortlessly. Unlike Niklaus Mikaelson, Maxine Mitchell had no family, no power, and certainly no control - of herself that is. It is not long after her entrapment by Niklaus Mikaelson that she finds herself slipping into a world full of greed and sovereignty.
Will their own stubbornness be their downfall? Or will they be able to survive their enemies together?
Five hundred years ago, Niklaus Mikaelson created the first hybrid besides himself. She turned out to powerful, even more so than people imagined. She had been a dear friend of Niklaus's, until she died. Now she's back. And she wants revenge on the person that killed her, which so happens to be Katherine Pierce. Amelia Claire teams up with Klaus to find Katherine and put her in her place. But then she meets Klaus's older brother Elijah and she begins to wonder if revenge is really worth it. Does she go for revenge, or does she settle with a lifetime of freedom with Elijah?
