The Love That Comes with Death

Mystic falls has always had a way of attracting the supernatural.

But some secrets are older than the town itself.

Long before Valeria Montclair ever set foot in Mystic Falls, she crossed paths with Elijah Mikaelson.

It was brief.
Unexpected.
And neither of them could have known what it would become.

Centuries later, Valeria returns to a world she thought she had left behind. But Mystic Falls has changed and so has she.

Now immortal, powerful, and carrying secrets she has spent years burying, Valeria wants nothing more for them to remain buried.

That becomes impossible when the Mikaelsons arrive.

Elijah remembers her.

And Damon Salvatore can't seem to stay away from her.

As old connections resurface and new dangers begin closing in, Valeria finds herself caught between a love she thought was lost to time and a temptation she never saw coming.

But there are things Valeria knows about immortality.

Living forever doesn't mean you can't lose everything.

And sometimes, the person you love most...

is the very thing that brings your death.
