In New Moon, Bella Swan’s perfect world collapses after a single moment of blood at her eighteenth birthday party triggers a catastrophe among the Cullens. Edward Cullen—her vampire soulmate—walks away to keep her safe, leaving Bella trapped in a numb, months-long grief that turns Forks into a gray, empty place.
Desperate to feel anything again, Bella gravitates toward Jacob Black, whose warmth and loyalty pull her back from the edge. But Jacob’s world is changing too, and the forests around Forks fill with secrets, wolves, and warnings. When Bella’s reckless choices spark a fatal misunderstanding, she and Alice race to Italy to stop Edward from provoking the Volturi—vampire royalty—into killing him. The rescue succeeds, but the fallout reshapes every relationship Bella depends on.
