Evensong (2)

Elena and her friends now have no conscious memories of Stefanbut each is having a difficult time adapting to a world without him. Damon can scarcely put out fires fast enough.

Bonnie feels as if shes going insane. Her latest oddity is sleepwalking across the Dalcrest campus with only a golden-eyed white dog as a companion. This behavior terrifies the others, especially given the recent attacks in neighboring towns that leave girls drained of blood.

More, Bonnie finds herself caught up in her own love triangle with Matts shy new roommate, Bastian, and Damon. She realizes that Damon should be completely off limits, but she cant help feeling there is someone else who is Elenas perfect partner somewhere.

No one knows much about Bastian, who has white-blond hair and golden eyes, but he doesnt seem to like Damon. Is Bastian just jealous of Damons affection for Bonnie or does he have some darker secret?

Meanwhile, both red roses and black are mysteriously appearing for Bonnie and Elena. Who are they from, and why do they seem so important? The War of Roses has just begun. . . .
