Qualcosa di sinistro e crudele si è abbattuto su Fell's Church. Elena e le sue amiche hanno trovato forse un nome alla forza che sta travolgendo come un fiume in piena le vite di tutti gli abitanti: Streghe di Salem. Ma quale può essere il collegamento tra le streghe e i malach, le mutevoli creature del male che si sono impossessate di Caroline e Tamra, trasformando le due tranquille ragazze in spaventosi e ambigui mostri senza vergogna? Ora che al fianco di Elena non c'è più Stefan, allontanato con l'inganno e sparito senza lasciare traccia, solo il vampiro Damon può aiutarla.

Elena Gilbert ha scelto di morire. Si è sacrificata per salvare i due vampiri fratelli innamorati di lei, il bello e tenebroso Stefan e l'astuto e infido Damon. Ma ora è di nuovo viva: una misteriosa entità l'ha riportata in vita donandole poteri sovrumani. Nel suo sangue pulsa una nuova forza, unica e travolgente, irresistibile per qualsiasi vampiro. Stefan ne è ancora perdutamente innamorato, e spera di poter iniziare una vita con lei, ma Damon non cede: spinto da un'insaziabile sete di potere, la vuole per sé, come sua amante.

Stefano è salvo. Elena, col suo amore, è riuscita a portarlo via dall'inferno. Ma Damon è disperato. Un inspiegabile incantesimo lo ha reso umano e adesso è disposto a fare di tutto pur di tornare a essere un vampiro e riavere la donna che ama. Perfino a scendere ancora una volta negli abissi della Dimensione Oscura. Intanto a Fell's Church il male avanza: spiriti demoniaci hanno preso possesso della città. Matt e Meredith combattono con tutte le loro forze, ma presto capiranno che la fonte di quel terribile male è più vicina di quanto avrebbero mai potuto immaginare.

Con l'aiuto del tenebroso e affascinante Damon, Elena è riuscita a salvare il suo amore, Stefan, e a portarlo via dall'inferno, la Dimensione Oscura. Ma nessuno dei due fratelli vampiri è uscito illeso da questa terribile esperienza. Stefan è debole dopo la lunga prigionia, e ha bisogno di molto sangue. Più di quello che Elena può dargli. E Damon, per qualche inspiegabile incantesimo, è diventato umano. Disperato, è disposto a tutto pur di tornare a essere un vampiro. Perfino a scendere ancora una volta nei terrificanti abissi della Dimensione Oscura.

Dopo mille battaglie, anni di scontri e rivalità, qualcosa sta cambiando nell'eterna lotta tra Damon e Stefan. I due fratelli vampiro sono ancora innamorati di Elena, ma Stefan è stato rapito e confinato nella Dimensione Oscura: rinchiuso in una cella buia, imprigionato in un mondo ostile e crudele, solo il ricordo del suo amore gli permette di sopravvivere. Elena è disposta a tutto pur di salvarlo, e al suo fianco c'è anche Damon, finalmente libero dal peso del suo passato.
