In this book, Monckton-Smith shares a glimpse into a world of toxic masculinity and coercive control, one in which the tools are shame and fear, helped along by a media and justice system who are far from shedding sexist notions of men and women's roles in society.

A Fell's Church le cose non sono mai come sembrano: la verità è sempre ammantata di mistero, e anche le più consolidate certezze possono crollare sotto i colpi dell'amore, della passione e della vendetta. Elena, contesa dai due fratelli vampiri, è tornata dal mondo dei morti con nuovi, incredibili poteri. Stefan è scomparso e adesso Damon, il vampiro malvagio, ha campo libero: ora che la creatura che lo possedeva è stata sconfitta e il fratello non può più frapporsi tra lui ed Elena, sembra che il suo trionfo sia vicino.

Qualcosa di sinistro e crudele si è abbattuto su Fell's Church. Elena e le sue amiche hanno trovato forse un nome alla forza che sta travolgendo come un fiume in piena le vite di tutti gli abitanti: Streghe di Salem. Ma quale può essere il collegamento tra le streghe e i malach, le mutevoli creature del male che si sono impossessate di Caroline e Tamra, trasformando le due tranquille ragazze in spaventosi e ambigui mostri senza vergogna? Ora che al fianco di Elena non c'è più Stefan, allontanato con l'inganno e sparito senza lasciare traccia, solo il vampiro Damon può aiutarla.

Elena Gilbert ha scelto di morire. Si è sacrificata per salvare i due vampiri fratelli innamorati di lei, il bello e tenebroso Stefan e l'astuto e infido Damon. Ma ora è di nuovo viva: una misteriosa entità l'ha riportata in vita donandole poteri sovrumani. Nel suo sangue pulsa una nuova forza, unica e travolgente, irresistibile per qualsiasi vampiro. Stefan ne è ancora perdutamente innamorato, e spera di poter iniziare una vita con lei, ma Damon non cede: spinto da un'insaziabile sete di potere, la vuole per sé, come sua amante.

Non c'è più traccia di Stefan e Damon da quando è scomparsa la bellissima Elena, l'amore che ha unito e diviso i due fratelli vampiri. Intanto Caroline è decisa a riconquistarsi le sue vecchie amiche: Bonnie, dotata di poteri paranormali, e la risoluta, sfuggente Meredith. Ma Bonnie sa che qualcosa sta per accadere. Sente che l'immane forza malvagia che ha già seminato tanto terrore sta tornando.

Il terzo capitolo di una saga che ha appassionato milioni di lettori in tutto il mondo. Vertici di un fatale triangolo d’amore, Elena e i due fratelli vampiri Stefan e Damon hanno un unico destino. Ora che Elena ha ceduto al fascino del crudele Damon, ora che l’odio di Stefan per il fratello sembra inestinguibile, i tre dovranno stipulare una tregua e unire le loro forze, per affrontare una terribile e oscura minaccia. Una furia malvagia che potrà essere sconfitta soltanto da un’alleanza solida.

Due vampiri fratelli, avvolti nell'ombra di un mistero millenario, si contendono l'amore della giovane Elena. Damon è determinato a fare di lei la regina delle tenebre, ed è pronto anche ad uccidere suo fratello per riuscirci. Stefan è alla ricerca di un potere più grande, che gli consenta di eliminare il suo odiato rivale, ma non ha intenzione di cedere alla sete di sangue umano che lo assale.

Elena Gilbert è una ragazza d'oro, è bella, è brillante, ha tutto nella vita. Ma le sue giornate non hanno nulla di eccitante. Così, per cercare un po' di brivido, intreccia una relazione con il bel tenebroso Stefan. Ma Stefan nasconde un segreto, un segreto misterioso che potrà sconvolgere per sempre la vita della protagonista. Ha inizio così per Elena la più affascinante e pericolosa delle avventure. Una storia d'amore e odio, di luce e ombra, in cui Stefan e Damon, due vampiri fratelli contrapposti in una millenaria guerra, si contenderanno il suo cuore e il suo destino.
