Elara Magnolia Whitlock has always known she was different.
Raised by the Cullen family since childhood, she's their golden girl-the sweet, stylish, slightly wild eighteen-year-old who reads Greek myths for fun, drives a vintage Mustang, and has never lost a sparring match against her father, Jasper Hale. But she's also their most closely guarded secret. The Cullens have spent her entire life protecting her, loving her, and hiding one devastating truth:
Elara's mother didn't die in childbirth.
Elara's mother wasn't human at all.
When Alice, Jasper, and Elara rush to Volterra to save Edward, everything shatters. In the throne room of the Volturi, Elara meets Demetri-their lethal, impossibly handsome tracker-and the world tilts. A bond she doesn't understand slams into place, ancient and overwhelming. Demetri looks at her with reverence she's never seen before... and the kings notice instantly.
They know exactly what she is.
Exactly what she was born for.
And they want her on their side.
Elara escapes Volterra, but Demetri can track the essence of any mind on Earth-its tenor-and hers is the most beautiful he's ever heard. He follows her, protects her, falls for her in a way that terrifies them both.
But when Bella becomes pregnant, the truth can't stay buried. Desperate to save her friend and terrified of history repeating itself, Elara demands answers. Demetri breaks first, revealing the secret that destroys everything:
"Your mother is not dead."
Now Elara must face the truth: she is the last daughter of Athena, born of a goddess and a general, a spark of divinity hidden in a mortal world. War is in her blood. Destiny is waking. And the bond she shares with Demetri might be the key to saving everyone she loves-or the thing that destroys them all.
She was raised in sweetness.
But she was born for war.
