TLIZZYF
After spending sixteen years trapped inside the 1994 Prison World, Phoenix Parker finally escapes into a world that has long since moved on without her. Broken, emotionally exhausted, and believing her brother, Kai Parker, to be dead, the last person she expects to find is the mysterious vampire she once loved-Nik.
To Phoenix, he is the love of her life, the man she watched die sixteen years ago.
To Klaus Mikaelson, she is the woman he has spent a thousand years loving... and grieving.
Determined not to lose her again, Klaus hides the centuries of history they share, choosing to let Phoenix fall in love with him again before revealing the truth.
As they journey through the Appalachian Mountains in search of werewolves capable of surviving the Hybrid transformation, Klaus slowly begins to tear down the walls Phoenix had built in the Prison World around her heart.
Between moonlit campfires, dangerous hunts, and stolen moments together, they fall hopelessly in love once again.
But love built upon deception is destined to break.
On the night Esther Mikaelson attempts to destroy her own children, Phoenix discovers the truth-that Klaus had compelled her from the very beginning, concealed the impossible pregnancy growing inside her, and hidden a thousand years of love, loss, and reincarnation.
For Klaus, becoming the Original Hybrid was meant to end a millennium of suffering.
Instead, it marks the beginning of his greatest regret.
As love gives way to betrayal and destiny tightens its grip once more, long-buried secrets awaken, setting into motion a cycle that has endured for centuries-a story of two soulmates cursed to find one another, lose one another, and begin again, lifetime after lifetime.
