L .J. Smith's New York Times bestselling series The Vampire Diaries,
and inspiration for the hit CW TV show, gets another addition in this
electrifying follow-up to Phantom, the first title in the Hunters
arc.
Evil never dies. . . .
After escaping the horrors of the Dark Dimension, Elena and her friends
can't wait to attend Dalcrest College, the beautiful ivy-covered campus
where Elena's parents met. Life with Stefan is better than ever, and
with her closest friends Bonnie, Meredith, and Matt by her side, Elena
knows it will be their best year yet. Even Damon seems genuinely changed
and is getting along with everyone.
But for Elena, moving away from Fell's Church doesn't mean she has left
her dark past behind. When students start to disappear from campus,
every new acquaintance is suddenly a potential enemy. Panic soon spreads
and the friends struggle to protect each other.
Then Elena uncovers a long-hidden secret, one that shocks her to the
core, and realizes tragedy may be unavoidable. Will Elena outrun her
fate? And will it be Stefan or Damon who catches her if she falls?
