The Vampire Diaries: The Hunters: Destiny Rising

Destiny Rising is the gripping conclusion to the Hunters arc in the New York Times bestselling series The Vampire Diaries, created by L. J. Smith, which also inspired the hit CW TV show.

Elena Gilbert has never been an ordinary teenager. In love with the irresistible vampire brothers Stefan and Damon, she has died, been brought back to life, fought evil, and journeyed to hell and back to save Stefan.

Now her most dangerous enemy, Klaus, has returned, and Elena realizes she must make a terrible sacrifice to protect her world . . . and fulfill her destiny.

What does destiny demand when loving a vampire could cost you everything?

• A Fated Love: Elena has chosen Stefan, but her destiny as a Guardian—and her lingering connection to Damon—threatens the forever she’s fought so hard to win.
• An Ancient Evil Reborn: Klaus, the Original vampire, is back from the dead. This time, he’s not alone, and he’s determined to make Elena pay for her defiance.
• An Ultimate Sacrifice: To protect everyone she loves from Klaus’s new army, Elena must make a choice that could destroy her and change her relationship with the Salvatore brothers forever.
• Supernatural Allies and Enemies: With werewolves joining the fight and old enemies returning, the final battle for her world will demand more than she has to give.
