Автор Джулия Плек
After a hurricane destroyed their city, Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson have rebuilt New Orleans to even greater glory. The year is 1766. The witches live on the fringes in the bayou. The werewolves have fled. But still, Klaus isn’t satisfied. He wants more. He wants power. But when Klaus finally finds a witch who will perform a spell to give him what he desires most, she secretly uses Klaus to unleash a curse—one that brings back hundreds of her ancestors—and begins a war to reclaim New Orleans. As the siblings fight off the attack, only one thing’s for certain—the result will be a bloodbath.
Dear Reader:
So glad you’ve returned for the next installment of Mikaelson drama. While you can tune into the CW to see the present-day Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah, our beloved Original Vampire family, their past has about 1,000 years worth of stories to share.
You can unearth these tales, courtesy of HQN Books, in association with Alloy Entertainment, in their new trilogy of books that features part of the vast history of The Originals.In the first book, you watched as each of the Mikaelson trio struggled with their vampire natures and their complicated heightened emotions in order to seek out love. In this book, you’ll find the Mikaelsons forty years after they landed in New Orleans. They’ve banished the witches and werewolves, and made the city their perfect home—yet of course, Klaus still isn’t satisfied. He’s lost the love of his life and he wants her back at any cost. But when a resurrection spell brings more chaos and horror than the siblings ever imagined, Rebekah and Elijah are forced to fight a never-before-seen evil.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
LILY LEROUX HAD promised herself that she wouldn’t cry. Her mother would never have forgiven her for crying. Lily’s job was to look strong and poised in her fitted black dress, to accept the community’s condolences without seeming to need them. She was in charge of New Orleans’s witches now, or whatever was left of them. She had to lead them, not lean on them.
