Souls of Perdition

In a misguided effort to protect Bella, Edward separates himself from her life, but his presence remains etched into her soul. When remnants of his love are uncovered beneath her floorboards, Bella realizes she was woven more deeply into his heart than he ever revealed. His absence has brought them both unbearable torment, with Edward's guilt spiraling into agony. After hearing the false news of Bella's death, Edward seeks refuge in the Etruscan Veins-rivers beneath the catacombs of Volterra, said to be the final punishment for the perpetually damned. To save Edward from the abyss and a fate worse than death, Bella must confront the vulnerabilities of her own soul before the abyss swallows them both.
