Intro. After the loss of her parents and brother in a tragic accident, Elena Gilbert returns to school trying to rebuild her life. Marked by grief and loneliness, she does not imagine that her new beginning will put her at the center of an old war.
Two mysterious brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, have been attending school for three months now, hiding a dark secret that ties them to Mystic Falls' past. When they meet Elena again, they are both shaken by the unsettling resemblance she bears to Katherine Pierce, the woman who cursed them centuries ago.
As Stefan struggles with the urge to get closer, wanting to protect her from the supernatural world he represents, Damon sees in Elena a perfect opportunity — not only to revive his obsession with Katherine, but also to turn her into his next victim.
Caught between darkness and light, Elena and her siblings find themselves dragged into an inevitable fate. In Mystic Falls, nothing is a coincidence... And all love has a price.
