When Hope Mikaelson killed Landon Kirby to unlock her full Tribrid power, she silenced her humanity and buried her grief. But the dead don't always stay dead. Weeks later, the Super Squad makes a shocking discovery-Landon is alive, scarred but breathing, carrying memories of both his death and Hope's betrayal. With her humanity still off, Hope is colder and more dangerous than ever, and the people who once called her family are forced to confront her head-on. But nothing is simple. Landon's return raises questions no one can answer: Why did he survive when no one else ever has? What ties still bind him to Hope, even after death? And how long can the squad hold together when the person they're trying to save is also the person who might destroy them? Love, loyalty, and power collide as Hope faces the one thing she's been running from-herself.
