"There are no stars in Forks - this is the only place I can see the stars." "My name is Damien." The place was serene. It felt like a sacred ground. He was afraid to disturb the sanctity. Vesta Dumas does not expect her new life in Forks to be fun. She likes the rain and the green-gray even if she can't see the stars. But her classmates don't seem to mind her brooding silence and her fumbling speeches. They seem to like her - even though she can outrun them, plays mean chess and swears like a drunken sailor sometimes. Her tentative life is threatened when Damien steps into Forks convinced she is someone she is not. Despite all her efforts to get away from him, something keeps drawing them both irresistibly closer. The more it does, the more her new safe life threatens to unravel until it might just be too late.
