Elena Gilbert knows her blood carries lethal properties that Stefan has used to eliminate ancient vampires called Old Ones. When she barely survives a car crash that was clearly an assassination attempt, she realizes Solomon has targeted her for death. This Old One operates as an invisible force in town, revealing himself only when he chooses to strike. Solomon possesses both intelligence and strength that may surpass anything Elena and her allies have faced before. Even with hunter Jack and his team fighting alongside them, Elena fears for everyone she loves. Meanwhile, Damon and Katherine encounter a new breed of vampires during their own mission. These creatures remain undetectable to Damon's supernatural senses and show immunity to traditional vampire weaknesses like sunlight and wooden stakes. Damon races to understand this mystery before these unusual enemies destroy him and Katherine. As the threats multiply around Elena and her vampire protectors, they prepare to uncover truths that will transform their world forever.
