   Summary

   Elara Bennett disappeared with a secret.

   Far from Mystic Falls, far from New Orleans, and far from the four brothers who had become her world, she built a life no one could find. Time passes, her magic changes, and her family grows. For the first time, Elara begins to believe the past can stay buried.

   Then, someone she thought was lost forever finds her again.

   Old loves, old wounds, ancient magic, and a secret that could change everything the Mikaelsons believe to be true about their family.

   Because running from fate is easy- living with what it left behind is another matter.
