Seventeen-year-old Bella Swan trades sunbaked Phoenix for the constant drizzle of Forks, Washington, to live with her quiet father, Charlie. At her new high school, she’s drawn to the enigmatic Cullen family—especially Edward, a breathtaking boy whose mood swings between icy avoidance and magnetic intensity.
As Bella and Edward collide again and again, the mystery around him sharpens into something supernatural. Edward saves Bella under impossible circumstances, dodges questions with cryptic warnings, and finally admits the truth: he is a vampire who survives on animal blood—but Bella’s scent is his greatest temptation. Their romance ignites even as it breaks every rule of safety.
When nomadic vampires enter the area and one decides Bella is the perfect target, love turns into a lethal chase. Bella is forced to choose between protecting the people she loves and trusting Edward’s dangerous world—knowing that “forever” might require surrendering her humanity.
