At their university, Elena and friends encounter an old enemy: the resurrected vampire Klaus. Elena must come to terms with her role as a part-angelic Guardian, and her (long in coming) choice between the vampire Salvatore brothers causes Damon to return to his murderous ways. This entry in the series is tighter and more consistent in its horror logic than many of the previous volumes.
