Every legend has a beginning. Liliana Gilbert just didn't expect hers to start with betrayal. Being Elena's sister was never easy-but being overlooked, forgotten, and left behind might be the least of her problems. After a tense return to Mystic Falls, a supernatural ambush leaves Liliana caught in the crossfire between vampires she doesn't trust and allies who didn't come looking for her. When Elijah-the Original-appears not to hurt her but to help her, everything she thought she knew begins to unravel. As visions blur with memory and ancient secrets rise to the surface, Liliana uncovers a letter hidden deep within the tomb under the church ruins. A warning. A prophecy. A truth buried in blood: there was always meant to be a third doppelgänger. A blonde one. And it may not just be that she's a part of the Petrova line-she could be the very start of it. Torn between loyalty and vengeance, hunted for a power she doesn't yet understand, and questioning who she can really trust, Liliana must confront what it means to be the girl who was never supposed to exist... and the one who might end it all. Because in Mystic Falls, nothing stays buried forever.All Rights Reserved
