Lillian Ishtar has a secret. She's an ancient Mesopotamian goddess of love and war. She's kept this secret for most of her long, long life. But when she moves to Forks, Washington, things become complicated. She meets Bella Swan, who becomes the first friend she's had in centuries. This doesn't last though, because this town has secrets of its own, and Lillian will have to learn how to keep her head above the water, or drown trying.
