require him to kill humans to survive. Instead he feeds off of animals in

Central Park. But the quiet life he envisioned is jolted when he runs into his

brother Damon, who has convinced New York high society that he is Italian

royalty. While Stefan is regaining his humanity, Damon has completely lost

his. Stefan will do whatever it takes to protect Damon from himself—but there

is another villain present. A vampire that seeks revenge for a death the

Salvatores are responsible for. Stefan and Damon will have to work together to

fight the greatest evil yet.

brothers as they face new loves, old treacheries, and unimaginable threats.
