In 1787, in a small village near the French countryside, a beautiful girl named Angelina Belmont was born. With a French father and an American mother, Angelina grew up embodying the elegance of both worlds. Her spirit was wise and gracious, her kindness ligured into every interaction. Yet, it wasn't just her soul that made her captivating-her appearance was equally enchanting. Her long, hazel curls cascaded down to her waist, framing a delicate, graceful figure inherited from her mother, to whom she bore a striking resemblance. Angelina was a vision of both beauty and intellect, a rare and exquisite presence in her time.
In 1807, Angelina Belmont was thrust into a supernatural life she never wanted, Forcing her to be thrown out from her home and into the darkness at just twenty. Her sister, Carmen, seeing Angelina's fear, chose to share her vampire fate, joining her in facing the unknown. For twenty years, the sisters navigated their new, dangerous world-until Carmen met Katerina Petrova, who offered a tempting reward for information. But Carmen was killed before she could tell it, struck down by the ruthless Klaus Mikaelson.
While Klaus showed no remorse, his brother, Elijah Mikaelson, stayed to honor Carmen's memory, praying over her lifeless body. Nearly 200 years later, Elijah returned, offering Angelina a chance for revenge against Klaus. Yet, as she prepared to avenge her sister, Angelina found herself drawn to Elijah's noble heart, never expecting to fall for the very brother of her sister's killer.
