You never met a witch like me

Before she was the wife of an Original or the savior of Mystic Falls, Adamant Bennett was a secret buried in the dark. While her sister Bonnie was raised with the warmth of Grams' wisdom, Adamant was abandoned by Abby Bennett Wilson on the doorstep of the reclusive Breanna Bennett. Raised in isolation, she knew no birthdays, no holidays, and no love-only the relentless, brutal refinement of her power. Adamant wasn't raised to be a girl; she was forged to be a weapon, a Hellhound-Witch hybrid whose golden eyes saw the world as a battlefield long before she knew what a sister was.

Driven by a fierce, instinctual loyalty she doesn't yet understand, Adamant carries an attitude far beyond her sixteen years, possessing the weary sharpness of an ancient soul. She is the Bennett line's hidden teeth-the "Lion" waiting to be unleashed. When the walls of her silent upbringing finally crumble, she heads to Mystic Falls not for a reunion, but to claim the bloodline that forgot her. In a world of vampires and Petrova doppelgängers, everyone is about to learn a hard truth: You've never met a witch like her.
