Ma nulla di tutto ciò è paragonabile al dilemma che le strazia il cuore: dover scegliere tra i fratelli Salvatore, i due vampiri, gli amori della sua vita. Ora che si è riconciliata con Stefan, Damon, è diventato cupo e imprevedibile. Elena vorrebbe aiutarlo, ma sa di non poter tradire di nuovo la fiducia di Stefan.

Band 5 der packenden Vampirtagebücher! Elena hat es geschafft, der Schattenwelt zu entkommen! Doch sie hat sich dennoch verwandelt. Anfangs kann sie sich kaum an kaum etwas erinnern und ist mehr Engelswesen als Mensch, sie kann sich nur mit Stephano über telepathische Bilder verständigen. Doch dafür besitzt sie eine große, gute Macht – die allerdings schwindet, je menschlicher sie wird. Doch ob sie stark genug ist, um es mit der bösen Macht aufzunehmen, die in Fell’s Church lauert? Denn dieses Mal wird die Stadt von etwas heimgesucht, das böser ist als alles zuvor.

Verliebt in einen Vampir. Stefano bleibt verschwunden und Elena setzt alles daran, ihre große Liebe wiederzufinden. Sie sucht die Konfrontation mit Damon.

Es gibt jedoch einen Ausweg: Stefano und Damon müssen ihre Feindschaft überwinden und Seite an Seite kämpfen. Doch der Hass sitzt tief... Mit dem Tod Catarinas scheint das Böse in Fell's Church endgültig begraben zu sein. Doch auch Elena hat ihre Liebe zu Stefano bitter mit dem Leben bezahlt.

Doch Elena lebt – als Untote in ein Schattenreich verdammt, nachdem sie bereits das Blut der beiden Vampirbrüder getrunken hat.

Dopo essere sfuggiti agli orrori della Dimensione Oscura e aver sventato la terribile minaccia che incombeva su di loro, Elena e i suoi amici sono ansiosi di lasciarsi il passato alle spalle per iniziare una nuova vita al Dalcrest College, lo stesso campus in cui si sono incontrati e innamorati i genitori di Elena. Tuto inizia sotto i migliori auspici: Elena e Stefan sono più affiatati che mai e con Bonnie, Meredith e Mat al suo fianco, la ragazza è convinta che stia per cominciare l'anno più bello della sua vita.

La felicità per il ritorno del vampiro però è offuscata dall'oscura minaccia che incombe su tutti loro. Quando Bonnie cade in un sonno profondo e inquietante dal quale sembra impossibile svegliarsi, Elena e i suoi amici capiscono che non c'è tempo da perdere: devono agire in fretta per salvare la ragazza e le loro stesse vite, e fermare il male una volta per tutte.
