"Life is nothing without
a little chaos to make it."
— 𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻

xxx. 𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘 𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐋𝐒𝐎𝐍 or better known to the world as Riley Marshall, had always lived in the shadow of two worlds—one forged by ancient bloodlines and supernatural legacies in New Orleans, Louisiana. But everything changed the day her parents—Hayley Marshall and Elijah Mikaelson—packed up their lives and moved their family to the mysterious and fog-shrouded town of Beacon Hills, California. The decision wasn't made lightly; after years of battling old enemies and shielding their children from the chaos that followed the Mikaelson name, Hayley and Elijah were determined to start over somewhere far from the ghosts of the past. Somewhere quieter. Safer. Or so they believed.

Riley, the eldest daughter, didn't complain. She had grown used to change—used to hiding what she was and who her family truly was. Alongside her little brother Nicholas, a quiet boy with Elijah's restraint and Hayley's instincts, and her younger sister Hope, a powerful tribrid still learning to control her gifts, Riley hoped that Beacon Hills might be the fresh start her family desperately needed.

But as the dark pine trees of the California forest closed in around their new home, Riley couldn't shake the strange feeling that something about this town was... off. It wasn't just the eerie silences in the woods behind their house or the way the full moon seemed to hang low and heavy in the sky. It was the whispers in the high school hallways about disappearances, about howls in the night, about people who weren't entirely human.

Beacon Hills wasn't just a new beginning—it was a hotspot for supernatural activity. Werewolves, banshees, druids, kanimas, and werecoyotes... Riley soon discovered that the town had its own secrets, its own darkness, and its own battles.

But none of them knew her secret.

Because Riley Mikaelson wasn't just the daughter of a powerful Original vampire and a fierce hybrid. She wasn't just another supernatural teenager trying to find her place. She was born something entirely different—a being that defied the natural order, something not even her parents fully understood.

Neither vampire nor werewolf, nor witch nor tribrid, Riley was something ancient, something whispered about in the oldest magical texts, a creature born under a blood moon, her magic woven from both light and shadow. A supernatural anomaly. A force of nature. And she had spent her entire life hiding that truth.

But in Beacon Hills, secrets have a way of rising to the surface—and Riley's arrival was about to tip the balance of the supernatural world once again.

𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄 — Okay, so I know how this might look—but yes, there's some serious editing going on with this book. The Prodigal Daughter series means a lot to me. I started it three years ago with just one goal in mind: to bring back my original story from a previous account (Bee9018), which was removed without any explanation.

Back then, my writing style was different—less refined, and the story's structure was all over the place. I totally understand why it left some readers confused. But I've grown since then. I've sharpened my skills, learned how to properly plan and structure my work, and now I'm ready to give this series the rewrite it truly deserves.

So buckle up and enjoy this new universe I'm creating!
