In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, where supernatural factions vie for power and ancient prophecies whisper of impending darkness, emerges Elara Evernight, the oldest doppelgänger in existence. Born over 2,500 years ago, Elara was created to embody the delicate balance between light and dark forces. After a fateful battle led her to embrace her identity as an Original Vampire, she became a guardian of the supernatural realm, wielding powers that surpass even the most ancient beings.
Awakening in modern-day Mystic Falls after centuries of slumber, Elara finds herself in a world vastly changed yet eerily familiar. As she navigates the complexities of contemporary supernatural politics, Elara must confront the consequences of her immense power and the loneliness that accompanies it. Her arrival draws the attention of the Salvatore brothers, Elena Gilbert, and other key figures, who are both intrigued and wary of the formidable being who can manipulate blood, travel through shadows, and bend the very fabric of time.
When an ancient evil tied to Elara's lineage threatens to rise once more, she must forge alliances with familiar heroes and unlikely allies to confront this dark force. As tensions mount and battles ensue, Elara's journey becomes one of self-discovery, testing her beliefs about love, trust, and the burden of power.
Can Elara embrace her destiny and protect the fragile balance of the supernatural world? Or will her past haunt her as she faces foes that seek to exploit her extraordinary abilities?
Join Elara in an epic tale of courage, conflict, and connection as she fights to safeguard the realm she was born to protect, all while discovering the warmth of friendship and the power of love in a world filled with shadows.
In the future, everyone who's bitten by a zombie turns into one... until Diane doesn't. Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined.

Excerpt:

Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
What was I then? For that, I had no answer
