Description Summary[]
![[Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted]](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/thevampirediariesfanon/images/a/a6/SBS.webp/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20250215124256)
After leaving the Salvatore School, Hope Mikaelson seeks a fresh start at Whitmore College, determined to live life on her own terms. However, her past isn't so easily left behind. When she crosses paths with Clara Mikaelson, her estranged cousin — a tribrid like herself who grew up away from the chaos of the Mikaelson family though despite going to the same school and pairing up multiple times— they quickly realize that their connection is more than just blood.
Their reunion takes a dark turn when they discover that supernatural beings are disappearing, and an ancient order known as The Red Veil has emerged from the shadows. Their mission? To eradicate the Mikaelson bloodline and any supernatural creature who stands in their way.

Alongside their reckless but powerful friend Astrid Calloway, a witch with dangerous magic, 600-year-old vampire, Cassian Duval gets another chance at life, and Nate Donovan, a mortal relative of the Donovans, entangled in their world, Hope and Clara must navigate the challenges of college life while facing enemies older than time itself.
But when the legendary Shadowbind Amulet resurfaces, its dark magic threatens to unravel everything. As secrets from the past come to light, alliances will be tested, sacrifices will be made, and the battle for survival will begin.
In the end, blood will bind them together... or tear them apart.
