Fans of The Vampire Diaries and its successful spin-off prequel The Originals have a new way to get their vampire fix. A series of books created by Julie Plec contains original content and stories of the Original vampire family. And each book has cover art featuring the stunning cast of The Originals. Book 1, The Originals: The Rise features a stunning shot of Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan), and as a bonus, includes the first three chapters of book #2 in the series, The Originals: The Loss.
The Originals: The Rise, is available now and takes readers back to eighteenth century New Orleans, where this immortal family hopes to build a home for themselves in the lawless Crescent City.
Family is power. The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when you’re immortal, promises are hard to keep.
Arriving in New Orleans in 1722, Original vampire siblings Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson believe they’ve escaped their dangerous past. But the city is lawless, a haven for witches and werewolves unwilling to share territory. The siblings are at their mercy, especially after Klaus meets the beautiful and mysterious Vivianne. Her impending marriage is key to ending the war between the supernatural factions—and Klaus’s attraction to her could destroy the uneasy alliance. As Elijah works toward securing a piece of the city for his family, and Rebekah fights her unexpected feelings for a French captain, will Klaus’s volatile desires bring their world crashing down—and tear them apart for good?
