Vampire Diaries Collection: The Return: Nightfall / The Awakening/The Struggle / The Fury/Dark Reunion / The Secret Circle/The Power

Four early volumes of L. J. Smith's vampire series are gathered here, beginning with Elena Gilbert, a popular girl who could have almost any boy she wants. Two brothers, Stefan and Damon, both fall for her. Stefan is quiet and guarded, struggling to hold back his attraction to her for her own safety, while Damon is reckless, charming and bent on revenge against his brother. As Elena is drawn to both of them, she must weigh her feelings for each, and the tangle of desire, jealousy and old rivalry soon turns dangerous. The collection follows this triangle through its early stages, as the risks of being close to these vampires begin to grow.
