Sybil, an Original Vampire forged in fire and blood alongside her siblings, finds herself lost in an apocalyptic world she doesn't recognize. Stripped of the Mikaelson legacy and the luxuries of her supernatural existence, she must adapt to a new reality of chaos, death, and survival. The vibrant human world she once knew is gone, replaced by lawlessness and despair. With only echoes of the past to guide her, Sybil must navigate a future filled with uncertainty and danger. The endless hordes of the dead are just the beginning. Sybil's instincts as a predator-her cunning, strength, and unyielding will-are all that stand between her and destruction. Yet, in this brutal new world, even power has limits. To survive, she must learn when to fight, when to flee, and when to trust. For the first time in centuries, Sybil's vulnerabilities threaten to undo her, and the apocalypse tests her in ways she never anticipated. As she journeys through this wasteland, Sybil begins to question if survival alone is enough. What secrets lie buried in this hostile land? What dangers-and allies-await her? The walkers that roam endlessly are only part of the nightmare. The living have become as ruthless as the dead, and whispers of supernatural forces suggest even greater threats. Along the way, Sybil encounters others as desperate as she is-individuals seeking hope and safety in a world that offers none. Together, they must forge a path forward, braving dangers that push them to the brink. But Sybil's greatest fear isn't her enemies-it's herself. Will her centuries of strength and experience be enough to guide her, or will this new world destroy her as it has so many others? Throne of Shadows begins the Fallen Forged Forever trilogy, a gripping saga of survival, discovery, and unyielding resolve in humanity's darkest hour.
