If the return of The Originals to your TV just isn’t enough, you are in luck. Julie Plec is giving us a book series, too!
Apparently, being showrunner for two of the biggest shows on the CW just isn’t enough to keep Julie Plec busy. According to EW, she is adding the title of ‘author’ to her credits with a series of books based on The Originals. The books look to be set in the family’s troubled past. Check out the covers for the first two installments here.
Here are the titles and descriptions for the first three books in the series:
The Originals: The Rise: Arriving in New Orleans in 1722, the Original vampire siblings hope they’ve escaped their dangerous past. But when Klaus falls for the wrong woman, Elijah hunts for a home to call their own, and Rebekah infiltrates a camp of human soldiers in search of allies, they set into motion a chain of events that could bring their new life crashing down around them.
The Originals: The Loss: Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah have finally wrested control of New Orleans from the witches and werewolves who once called it home—but to get the one thing he desires above all else, Klaus must put his trust in a witch with the power to unleash an ancient curse upon his family.
The Originals: The Resurrection: The Mikaelson siblings are determined to make New Orleans their own once and for all. But with Elijah besotted with a beautiful witch and Rebekah pursuing the key to her family’s immortality, the reins are in Klaus’s hands… and his thirst for vengeance and power might tear his family apart for good.
The books are set for release in February, April, and June of 2015, respectively.
