Crimson Exile

Mystic Falls has seen many monsters.

But it has never seen her.

Aurélie Mikaelson was the daughter history forgot. Hidden by Esther centuries ago and raised far from the chaos of the Original family, she spent a thousand years running from a power buried in her blood-one capable of controlling the very foundation of the vampire race.

She never planned to return.

But when an ancient enemy begins hunting the magic tied to her blood, Aurélie is forced back to the one place she never wanted to see again: Mystic Falls.

And nothing in Mystic Falls stays quiet for long.

Enemies gather. Old spells break. A war older than the town itself begins to awaken.

And standing in the middle of it all is Enzo St. John-reckless, sarcastic, and far too stubborn to walk away from a fight.

What begins as a dangerous alliance slowly turns into something neither of them expected.

Because falling in love in Mystic Falls has never been simple.

And loving a Mikaelson has never ended well.

As ancient magic rises and enemies close in, Aurélie must choose between the power her family feared... or the life she never thought she deserved.

But in a town built on secrets and blood-

some choices change everything.
