Set 5 years after Breaking Dawn, the Cullens leave Forks for a new life. However, one of them lapses, putting the entire family at risk. This is not a Jake and Nessie story, and gets quite dark in places. Contains vampire violence.

I was rooted to the spot. I had been a vampire for five years, but I had never taken a human life, nor seen one taken. In the instant it took me to take in the broken form in his lap, I finally understood what I was, what we all were. I could smell the blood from the lifeless body in front of me, and it smelled good. My throat burned and my mouth filled with venom.

On a mid-September evening, Edward Cullen broke off his relationship with Bella and the entire Cullen family left Forks never to be seen again.

2 years have passed and now Bella Swan is a Psychology & English Literature undergraduate at MIT University. She has abandoned love and any sort of relationship, burying her self in her studies and a limited social life. But when an unexpected guest arrives at MIT during the fall, she finds herself reunited with The Cullens and embraces the dawning of a new threat on the horizon that could divide her and the Cullens for the last time.
