BOOK 1 - Marked By Fate (E. CULLEN)

When Ava Swan moves to the small, rain-soaked town of Forks, she expects boredom, isolation, and a life far from anything exciting. What she doesn't expect is to be pulled into a world that feels dangerous in ways Ava never meant to fall for someone who felt dangerous to stand near.

She can't explain why she's drawn to Edward Cullen - a boy who watches her like he's bracing for something terrible to happen if he gets too close. He's beautiful, distant, and impossible to read. One day he looks like he can barely tolerate being in the same room as her. The next, he's saving her life in ways that don't make sense. Ava knows something about him is wrong - not in a bad way, just... not human in the way everyone else is. And knowing that should be enough to walk away.

It isn't.

As Ava grows closer to Edward, the truth he's hiding starts to surface. With it comes a danger that follows him everywhere he goes. The more she lets him into her life, the more her world is pulled apart and reshaped by secrets, violence, and choices she was never supposed to have to make. Being with Edward doesn't just change how she sees him - it changes how she sees everything.

Falling in love was never supposed to feel like walking into a storm. But with Edward, love is beautiful, terrifying, and anything but safe.
