Years after Hope Mikaelson destroyed Malivore and thought she'd made peace with her father's death, life at the Salvatore School has returned to a fragile normal. Surrounded by her found family-the Saltzmans and her closest friends-Hope has built a life she can be content with. But beneath the surface, the ache of Klaus Mikaelson's absence still lingers, growing louder in the quiet moments. When a mysterious encounter with the Sphinx offers Hope the impossible-a way to turn back time-she's faced with a choice: risk everything for the chance to see her father again or stay in the life she's built. With an ancient timepiece in her hands and a cryptic riddle to solve, Hope must navigate the dangerous waters of time itself, knowing that even the smallest change could unravel everything she holds dear. In a world where second chances come with a price, Hope will have to decide just how far she's willing to go to reclaim the moments she's lost. But in the game of time, nothing is ever as it seems, and some consequences may be too heavy to bear.
