The Broken Bond

She was born a Mikaelson. Raised a weapon. And now, she's coming home.

Hope Mikaelson was stolen at birth and raised in secret by the most feared witch of the bloodline-her great-aunt, Dahlia. Hidden away in a shadowed forest, trained in ancient, brutal magic, Hope became everything Dahlia wanted: powerful, obedient, and bound by blood.

But Hope never forgot the echo of a lullaby she never heard. The warmth of a family she never knew.

Now seventeen, Hope escapes Dahlia's grip and flees to New Orleans-the city of her blood. There, she searches for the family that lost her... and finds a father who doesn't believe she's real, a mother broken by guilt, and an aunt who sees the war that's coming.

Because Dahlia is not done with her.

Hope must choose who she wants to be: the weapon Dahlia forged... or the daughter the Mikaelsons would die to protect.
