Publisher's Summary
Family is power. The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when you're immortal, promises are hard to keep.
Arriving in New Orleans in 1722, Original vampire siblings Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah Mikaelson believe they've escaped their dangerous past. But the city is lawless, a haven for witches and werewolves unwilling to share territory. The siblings are at their mercy...especially after Klaus meets the beautiful and mysterious Vivianne. Her impending marriage is key to ending the war between the supernatural factions - and Klaus' attraction to her could destroy the uneasy alliance. As Elijah works toward securing a piece of the city for his family, and Rebekah fights her unexpected feelings for a French captain, will Klaus' volatile desires bring their world crashing down - and tear them apart for good?

Love the book, the Narrator not so much.
The whishing voice of the narrator gets under my skin, This is a hardcore wrote and well thought out plot. The voice of the woman reading it for me, Takes away from the characters portrayed in the book. If you can get past the sound of her voice the book is awesome. have other books with woman Narrators and I love them also. Just wished this one had a different voice. pity cause I love the book. but could only listen to it for a short period of time. Find something else and go back later,
