    ----

    Caroline Forbes has spent her entire life pretending she's normal.

    Born a siphoner, she can't generate magic of her own and must siphon it from magical sources. But that's not what scares her the most. Cuts disappear before they can scar. Broken bones heal impossibly fast. Even injuries that should kill her somehow don't. No witch can explain why a human heals like a vampire.

    As ancient secrets begin to surface and impossible truths refuse to stay buried, Caroline realizes her abilities aren't a coincidence. They've been a part of a story that began over a thousand years ago.

    Some secrets don't stay buried. And some were never meant to be uncovered.
