When Elijah is sent to New Zealand to retrieve a girl that might be able to help them rid themselves of Esther for good, he did not know that bringing her back to New Orleans would open old wounds for himself and her. He certainly didn't anticipate falling in love with the girl either.
What will the future hold for both of them? How can this one girl change his life forever? Who else will help them kill Esther and eventually, Mikael? And how are the Salvatore brothers and their little doppelgänger involved in all of this?
A hundred questions about the truth of the originals past will be answered in this book.
Over a thousand years ago Niklaus Mikaelson was engaged and quickly wed to the daughter of the Jarl who passed through with his Viking crew.
He was wealthy as was Mikael Mikaelson. Seeing as Elijah was so taken with another woman of the village, and Finn much too...precious to Mikael, he swore off Niklaus to the Jarl's daughter.
She lived with the Mikaelson family as tradition and courtesy demanded and was swiftly revealed by Esther to be a witch, a very powerful one at that.
At this knowledge, Esther placed the young girl under a spell when she turned her children into vampires. This spell cursed the girl to an eternity of sleep.
And no matter his efforts, Niklaus could not wake his love...not in a thousand years.
