“The Originals” aired its fall finale this week, and it set things up nicely for the remainder of the show’s second season. But what are fans to do in the meantime? For one thing we can look forward to an upcoming series of three prequel books created by none other than executive producer Julie Plec!

From the Press Release:
“The Originals,” a sexier, more mature hit spin-off television show of “The Vampire Diaries,” has three upcoming novels featuring The Original vampire family. This is the first time that “The Originals” is being featured in book format with new, never before seen content.

The titles are historical fiction that begin in the year 1722 in the city of New Orleans, all by series co-creator Julie Plec, with covers that feature images of the television cast members.

Book #1, THE RISE, is set to release January 27, 2015, with subsequent titles coming out March 31 (Book #2, THE LOSS) and then May 26 (Book #3, THE RESURRECTION) from Harlequin’s HQN Books.

You’ll find EvilShop pre-order links for all three books below, but if you click here to visit Alloy Entertainment, you can also receive an exclusive cast poster with your order of The Originals: The Rise.

THE RISE Synopsis:
Family is power. The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when you’re immortal, promises are hard to keep. 

Arriving in New Orleans in 1722, Original vampire siblings Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah Mikaelson believe they’ve escaped their dangerous past. But the city is lawless, a haven for witches and werewolves unwilling to share territory. The siblings are at their mercy… especially after Klaus meets the beautiful and mysterious Vivianne. Her impending marriage is key to ending the war between the supernatural factions—and Klaus’ attraction to her could destroy the uneasy alliance.

As Elijah works toward securing a piece of the city for his family and Rebekah fights her unexpected feelings for a French captain, will Klaus’ volatile desires bring their world crashing down—and tear them apart for good?
