After Victoria takes revenge for James by murdering everyone Bella Swan loves-including her mother, father, Billy Black, Jacob Black, and finally Bella herself-Bella awakens as a ghost trapped between life and death. Unable to move on, she spends months wandering the world before haunting the Cullens, forcing them to confront the devastating consequences of leaving Forks.
As Bella's spirit continues to decay, she discovers she is not alone. The world is filled with ghosts, including the long-dead loved ones of the Volturi. Seeking answers, Bella travels to Volterra and convinces the Volturi and Cullens to work together in an impossible mission: finding a way to bring the dead back to life.
After a worldwide search, Bella uncovers the existence of an ancient vampire known as the Keeper, a reclusive immortal with the extraordinary ability to see, speak with, and resurrect the dead. Together, Bella, the Cullens, and the Volturi embark on a journey that changes the vampire world forever.
Lost siblings, mates, friends, and family members are restored to life, including Didyme, Whitney, Cynthia, and Bella herself. As countless grieving vampires are reunited with their loved ones, Bella discovers that even after death, hope can survive. Though she becomes the unlikely hero responsible for one of the greatest miracles in vampire history, Bella remains exactly who she has always been-a brave, stubborn girl who would rather hide behind Edward than accept praise for saving the world.
A fitting theme for the story is that even the deepest grief can lead to unexpected hope, and that one person's refusal to give up can change countless lives.
