The Dark Side of the Moon

Some people are born into darkness. Others have it thrust upon them.

Isabella Swan has lived in Forks, Washington, her entire life, though few would say they really know her.

To the people of Forks, she's the daughter of Renee and Charlie Swan-the perfect couple, the high school sweethearts, the tragedy that left a four-year-old girl motherless. They remember the headlines, the hushed whispers, the funeral with its rain-soaked roses. And then, over time, they forgot.

Because small towns are good at forgetting.

For thirteen years, Bella has been a secret locked behind closed doors, a girl trapped in a house that was never a home. No matter how many times she tried to run, the world never noticed. No one asked. No one looked. No one saw-except for one doctor, the only soul who seemed to remember she existed at all.

But everything changes in the summer before her seventeenth birthday, when a social worker forces Charlie Swan to send his daughter to school. Forks High is an entirely different kind of prison-too bright, too loud, too full of people who stare. People who wonder.

And then there are the ones who don't. The ones who see her differently.

This is the story of how Bella Swan stepped out of the shadows-and into a world far more dangerous than the one she left behind.
