Before Klaus Mikaelson became a legend of terror, before Esther's spell created the Original vampires, there was Astrid Mikaelson.
And Astrid dreamed.
As a child, she escaped Mikael's rage in sleep to a strange kingdom beneath alien stars, where she met a pale stranger in black.
He called himself Dream of the Endless.
She called him Morpheus.
A bond formed between a Viking girl and an Endless-one that survived time, war, death, and immortality.
Then Esther turned her children into vampires.
Astrid died. Astrid awakened.
And her connection to the Dreaming remained.
For a thousand years, she walks between two worlds: her violent, immortal family and the Dreaming, where Morpheus slowly becomes something more to her.
Then he disappears.
For over a century, Astrid searches as the Dreaming collapses and the waking world suffers.
When Dream returns, everything has changed.
The Mikaelsons are in New Orleans.
Hope is about to be born.
Ancient forces rise.
And Dream's own family turns against him.
Destiny says all stories end in tragedy.
But Astrid Mikaelson has watched enough death to refuse it.
If fate demands her brothers' lives, she will defy it.
If prophecy comes for her niece, she will break it.
And if Dream believes destruction is his only path...
He will learn what every enemy of the Mikaelsons learns:
Never tell a Mikaelson that someone she loves is destined to die.
Astrid will not accept the ending written for either of her families.
And even Destiny's book can be rewritten.
