A note was left with her, addressed to Tannith Firelock, which explained that Hope's unidentified mother was unable to take care and provide for Hope as she was on the run. This was due to her being in an unsafe situation, fleeing from hunters. For Hope's best interest she decided to leave Hope in the hands of Tannith, new Queen of the vampiric world, as she hoped that Tannith would be a good influence upon Hope. The note named her as Hope, but didn't have a surname for her or the name of her mother or any other birth family. A few days after Hope's arrival, she was sent a book of 'Spells & Potions', also known as a 'Book of Shadows'. Within this she found another letter, hidden at the back, giving her some more information about the book's subject and her own identity. Along with the letter there was a spell. Hope read the spell, as it was meant to give her information about what she was and how she'd become that way. The vision-like experience which resulted from this revealed the past of Hope's ancestor vampire. It revealed how she was cursed by witches to become something near a witch after she had killed one of their coven, as it was considered by both species that becoming similar to the other was the worst thing possible. This showed why she, and all of her descendants including Hope, have wiccan based powers. All her decendents will have a wiccan gifts in addition to vampiric traits, meaning that they will all be able to perform some form of witchcraft as well as also being a vampire. The spell also revealed something of the Hunters' past to Lleucu Firelock, but the nature of this revelation is unknown. As Hope was a younger girl, she saw that Mason was becoming fond of her. She began trusting more in him and began a relationship with him. She learned how to use her wiccan gifts well and with ease, with the help of the book that she was given. Mason too tried to assist her in potion making, by collection unusual ingredients that she needed. Hope learned of the forthcoming battle against the Children of the Moon and the Braşov Coven, and tried to find ways she could help. She read a spell to give her guidance and answers which provided her with another vision-like experience. Although the vision was not what she had hoped for, it did reveal that Mason would die in the battle ahead. Mason shortly proposed to Hope before the Battle Of The Children Of The Moon and said that they would get married, if he lived. During the battle, Hope knew that she had to save Mason and thus casted a spell to draw Death into her. Instead her adoptive mother sacrificed herself and died in the process. Tannith was however returned to life by Lowri Capet. When Mason's mother went missing, Hope began helping him to search for her, and their investigation led them to a vampire named Seline whom Lola had visited previously. Hope noticed tools of witchcraft around the woman's home. She asked Seline what she knew of what had happened to Lola, but Seline instead sensed Hope's own path when their hands connected. Seline predicted that Hope would marry Mason and that they would have one child, but that Mason would then die. While speaking to them, she accidentally betrayed the fact that she'd known Hope's biological mother. When Hope noticed this, Seline admitted that Melinda had been her sister, showing Hope her own path in the past. She also revealed that Hope's biological father had died protecting Melinda from hunters shortly before Hope's birth.
