Valerie Swan knew she never belonged in the city. She only stayed in Seattle because of her job as Detective with SPD. But the dense forests, a misty solitude, and a quiet rustic charm is what called to her. So when her niece Bella moves in with her older brother Charlie and a new Detective role opens up with Forks Police Department, she can't turn down the opportunity. There's been a string of animal attacks that call for an expert hand in investigating. And with a population as close-knit as Forks, everyone is rattled. Val is determined to help her brother, Chief Swan, solve the case. Not long after her arrival, Bella nearly gets crushed by a car in the parking lot of her high school. She and Charlie rush from work to Forks Community Hospital. And that's when she meets him. Carlisle Cullen. The lead physician tending to her niece. There's something about him. Something irresistibly charming. It's a magnetic pull she can't shake. He's impossibly handsome and alluring in a way that unnerves her. And he can't seem to take his eyes off of her either. Not in a way that makes her feel seen, but in a way that makes her feel like prey. It's not a soft gaze he offers her. It's dark and hungry. Valerie quickly learns there is something brewing in the small town, begging to be unraveled.

When Bella moved to Forks, Washington, to live with her dad, she brought her twin sister with her. As Bella faces all of her drama, her sister faces her own. Battling with what's right and wrong, she has to make decisions that change her fate as well. Isabella and Florence Swan have been living with their mother for a while. Florence lived in Forks for a few years with her dad in middle school, but Bella has always lived with her mother. When the girls reach the middle of their junior year, they go to live with their dad, transferring to Forks High School. Bella and Florence don't really fit in at first. Florence is different from Bella. Aside from the fact that they don't really look the same, Florence dresses different, acts different. While Bella has this awkwardness around people, Florence just doesn't really care. She doesn't stay quiet cause she's scared or nervous, she just doesn't care. It adds to her mystery, some would say. The mystery that started with the books she reads and the way she dresses, all black or muted colors. Bella's friends try to take her in, but she keeps her distance. She finds them to be a little boring. She does have a soft spot for Angela, however, occasionally talking with her. But even with Angela she doesn't talk for long, shoving her nose back in her book. She sits at a table alone in the cafeteria. And somehow, she catches the eye of someone. Someone that shouldn't like her. Someone in a relationship. He thought that he had found his person. But now he can't draw his eyes away from this mysterious new girl and her dark clothes and winged eyeliner sharp enough to kill. Something about her just draws him in, even if he shouldn't be drawn in. Emmett Cullen can't seem to stop looking at her. And he's hiding it from everyone. Especially Rosalie.
