{Kai Parker x Artemis Gilbert}
Artemis Gilbert, the twin sister of the famous Elena Gilbert, who is desired by both Salvatore brothers, is an intelligent, brave, empathetic, friendly, and lovable person who loves her friends and family above all else. She had a normal life before-until her parents died in a car accident.
Then she discovered that vampires, witches, and werewolves weren't just mythical creatures. They are real. Her life was turned upside down once again when she became a vampire herself, needing to quench her thirst for blood. But everything changed when she ended up in the 1994 prison world with Damon Salvatore, Elena's on-off boyfriend, and Bonnie Bennett, a friend who has often sacrificed herself for others.
In this prison world, May 10, 1994, repeats endlessly. Not only that, but they also encounter Malachai, also known as Kai Parker, the sociopath who killed part of his family to become the leader of the Gemini Coven. However, he failed, and instead, he was sent to the 1994 prison world where he cannot die or age. He is destined to forever pay for his terrible deed.
Artemis and Kai have felt a certain connection since their first encounter. Artemis has no love for the sociopath; he is cruel and cunning. Yet, she discovers a completely different side of him-one that she begins to love.
To save her brother, Veronica decides to dig up a vampire's grave and must grapple with the dangers that come with fraternizing with a killer.
