When seventeen-year-old Bella Swan moves from the sun-soaked deserts of Arizona to the misty town of Forks, Washington, she expects rain, quiet mornings, and awkward reunions with her father. What she doesn't expect is to cross paths with a stranger who would change everything. A chance visit to a Seattle bookstore. A book just out of reach. And eyes that watch her like she's the only light in a world of shadows. Emmett Cullen thought his immortal life had already been written-unchanging, unshaken. Until her. Some stories begin with thunder. Theirs began with a touch of sunlight.
