𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥 Raven Swan has always lived in the quiet shadows of Forks, a town that seems too small for secrets, yet strange enough to hide them. At eighteen, she's spent her life under the roof of her father, attending high school and moving with her own circle of friends, never needing the Cullens, never wanting their attention. She knows them by name, has glimpsed them from a distance, and has felt the whispers of their strange presence-but she's never truly been part of their world. Raven is calm, observant, and quietly formidable. She doesn't need to prove herself; people notice because she is. Her mysterious aura makes her seem untouchable, but beneath the surface lies a heart that craves connection, even if she doesn't let it show. Then Jasper Cullen walks into her life. For the first time, Raven meets someone who unsettles her, who sees the parts of her she keeps hidden. Jasper, with his turbulent past and unshakable depth, is drawn to her in a way that defies reason. As they grow closer, Raven realizes there are dangers lurking in the misty forests of Forks that no human can face alone - and that some connections, once made, cannot be ignored. In a town of secrets, shadows, and eternal nights, Raven must navigate the pull of forbidden attraction, the weight of her own independence, and the mystery of a vampire whose presence is impossible to escape. Every heartbeat matters, and every choice carries consequences she never imagined.
