In The Ruler, The Fallen, and The Broken the war is over. Andrew, Daniel, Blade, and Violet all are back in Connecticut. Nick is now the King and has a master plan to get Andrew to surrender and to make Vampires the fiercest species to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Andrew is stuck in Connecticut trying to help Violet get back on her feet after killing a human, while he himself is struggling with letting down the entire Vampire community. Bruce's sister, Natalie, has convinced Bruce to run an under the table curing station for Vampires wanting to be human again, which illegal due to the new Vampiric law. As Violet gets back on her feet, her past blind sides her, and she must deal with new information regarding her family. As Nick's plan falls together, Violet and Andrew become divided. Andrew knows he desires two different things: to be King again and Violet's heart. Will Andrew find a way to get both? Will he be able to help Violet? Will he save the vampire kind? Or will Nick succeed in his plan, and forever change the fate of history?
