Carme Renalie Cullen fought monsters, mastered ancient gifts, and crossed an ocean to return to her family. But the home she dreamed of in the dark depths of the sea no longer exists.
Aged by trauma and transformed by the Oceanic Coven, Carme returns to Forks not as the child who ran, but as a woman her parents no longer recognize. Her twin sister, Renesmee, has retreated behind a wall of resentment, leaving Carme isolated in a house full of people who love her, yet treat her like fragile glass.
While she struggles to fit her new self into her old life, a different tether pulls at her chest. Aro Volturi did not just leave the snowy clearing with his life-he left with a connection to Carme that refuses to be ignored.
As the silence in the Cullen house grows louder and the pull of the bond grows stronger, Carme must make a choice. Stay and shrink to fit the family she fought for, or follow the tether to Volterra and discover who she is meant to be.
