Jinstarlight
Marianna never knew a life without her family.
Found as a baby and adopted by a mysterious family with more secrets than answers, she grew up surrounded by love, laughter, and the unbreakable bond of those who chose her as their own. For years, she believed they were just a normal family-until her eighth birthday, when she learned the truth.
Vampires were real.
And she had been raised by them.
Now twelve years old and living in the rainy town of Forks, Washington, Marianna is trying to navigate a new school, complicated friendships, and the dangers that seem to follow her family wherever they go. As tensions rise between vampires and werewolves and a newborn army threatens everything they love, Marianna finds herself caught between two worlds.
Then she meets Seth Clearwater.
Kind, loyal, and impossible to ignore, Seth becomes an unexpected part of her life after a moment that changes both of their futures forever.
As old enemies emerge and secrets come to light, Marianna must learn where she belongs in a world filled with monsters, legends, and impossible choices.
But no matter what happens, one thing remains true:
Family isn't always the people you're born to.
Sometimes, it's the people who choose you.
