Velvet and Venom

When Anastasia 'Annie' Petrova transfers to Beacon Hills High, she looks like any other seventeen year old girl, quiet, observant, impossible to read. But Annie has been seventeen for over a century. Born in 1800s Bulgaria to Katherine Pierce, back when she was still Katherine Petrova, Annie was raised not with love, but with survival. Trust is a weakness. Love is a weapon. And people are meant to be studied...then used.

Beacon Hills, however, isn't like anywhere she's been before.

As Annie is pulled into the chaos surrounding Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinski, and their world of werewolves, hunters, and secrets, she finds herself facing something far more dangerous than any enemy, connection. Stiles is sharp, relentless, and far too perceptive for her carefully constructed masks, and for the first time in 150 years, Annie begins to feel something she was never meant to.

But in a town built on monsters and survival, Annie's past is never far behind. And when blood, betrayal, and instinct collides, she'll have to decide, will she be the weapon she was raised to be....or something far more dangerous?
