Kindred souls.

Eloise Salvatore never expected to return to the chaos of her past. After escaping the bloodshed of her twin brother Stefan's Ripper days, Eloise has spent years hiding in the shadows, working a quiet life at a bar with her energetic best friend, Alice. But when Stefan strikes a dangerous deal with a man named Klaus Mikaelson, a name Eloise has never heard before, she's dragged back into the dangerous world of the supernatural.

Klaus is a mystery to Eloise-yet his demands quickly shake her fragile peace. With Stefan bound to Klaus's will, Eloise follows her brother into a world of ancient rivalries and power struggles. But it's not Klaus who catches her attention-it's his sister, Rebekah Mikaelson, awakened from her coffin after years of slumber. Strong, beautiful, and fiercely loyal, Rebekah challenges everything Eloise thought she knew about herself.

As the tension between the Mikaelsons grows and secrets unravel, Eloise finds herself irresistibly drawn to Rebekah, a connection neither of them can deny. But with the dark and unpredictable Klaus pulling the strings, Eloise must decide: can she trust her heart, or will loving Rebekah drag her deeper into a deadly game she can't escape?
