In The Shadows Of Forks

Forks wasn't supposed to change anything. Bella Swan came back to the rain, the pine trees, and the strange golden-eyed family that seemed too perfect to be real.

But she wasn't the only Swan.

Her younger brother has scars that don't fade, nightmares that never stop, and a heart that's been breaking since the night he lost the only person he ever loved. Where Bella finds belonging with the Cullens, he finds nothing but silence, exhaustion, and a world that keeps reminding him he doesn't belong.

He doesn't fight for attention. He doesn't chase chaos. He just breathes, skates, hurts, and hopes maybe one day he won't have to anymore.

And Forks is about to learn that some monsters aren't vampires or wolves - sometimes, they're the ghosts you carry inside yourself.
