A new story arc in the "New York Times" bestselling series, which has now also made it to our TV screens. The drama, danger and star-crossed love are in full effect here, with Elena Gilbert once again filled with supernatural powers.

Lisa Jane Smith is the author of more than twenty books for young adults, including the bestselling Night World and Vampire Diaries series (now a hit-series on ITV2). She lives in Northern California, in a rambling house in a small town. Lisa knew that she wanted to be a writer since she was about six, when a teacher praised a poem she'd written. She wrote her first book in high school, finishing it in her first year of college. Then she became a special education teacher before she was able to become a writer full-time.
