Boredom is a dangerous state for an ancient being. After millennia of adventures, wars, and endless forms, Sofia craves peace. But when her quest for quiet leads her to the sleepy, perpetually rainy town of Forks, Washington, she finds herself drawn into a world she thought she’d left behind: a coven of 'vegetarian' vampires, strange human connections, and the brewing storm of a supernatural conflict. Can this 'Original Original' truly find peace, or will her past, and an unexpected future, pull her back into the fight?

A millennium of slumber ends. The Original Father, Jardani Morningstar, awakens to a world utterly transformed, a family shattered and scattered by a betrayal centuries old. His children, including the formidable Klaus Mikaelson, now live under assumed identities, their true heritage hidden even from themselves. Can a father reclaim his lost family and uncover the truth behind their tragic past, or will the ancient forces that tore them apart finish the job they started a thousand years ago?
