Broken Eternity || Kol Mikaelson

Céline d'Orléans was a princess of royal blood in tenth-century France. Her family, noble and revered, dealt closely with the powerful Court de Martel. Yet beneath their polished exterior lay a dangerous secret, one that could destroy everything they had built. The d'Orléans' were witches.

In 1002, Céline met Kol Mikaelson. Against all odds, they fell deeply in love. Though Céline cherished her magic, she loved Kol more. And so, she made the ultimate sacrifice, allowing him to turn her, so they could share eternity together.

But eternity is never kind. When Mikael discovered his children's whereabouts, the family was forced to flee Southern France. In the chaos, Kol and Céline were separated. Through deceit and tragedy, Kol was led to believe the woman he loved was dead.

That belief endured, until 1114, when fate reunited them once more. It was then Kol learned the truth about his family's lies, and his resentment toward them began to fester. Together, he and Céline roamed the world, living among witch covens, desperate to reclaim the magic they had lost. Their shared hunger for chaos and mischief often drew Mikael's wrath, and many times Céline was forced to endure centuries without her beloved whenever Kol's brothers decided to "put him down."

The last time was the Christmas of 1914, where Céline barely escape with her life.

Now, nearly a century later, Céline must choose where her loyalties lie when a young witch named Bonnie Bennett shows up on her doorstep. For weeks, Bonnie has been plagued by dreams of a mysterious witch, visions that led her to believe Céline holds the key to unlocking a coffin containing the one weapon capable of destroying Klaus Mikaelson once and for all.

But love, loss, and vengeance are timeless, and in this story, even eternity can be broken.
