Claire's life had been perfect. She had a wonderful family, good friends and a future she had worked her way towards since she was 12. Now everything has changed. She is alone and on the run, but she knows there is nowhere she can hide. He will always find her, for the red-eyed monster has begun his hunt and he thirsts after her witch's blood. But then she meets him. In her darkest hour, he shines brighter than anyone ever before. Can she escape the ever-growing shadows that foretell the coming of the beast? Can she leave and abandon something she never thought she would find? This is a Jasper Hale story. This story does not follow the original plot of the Twilight series.
