Ashes of the Sun | Carlisle Cullen
Audrey Burnhill was only twenty when her life ended and something far darker began. Turned by a ruthless nomad vampire, she was left to wander the world alone, consumed by a thirst she refused to indulge. While others gave in to the bloodlust, Audrey chose a different path. She dedicated her immortal life to resisting the monster within, to proving that she could still be something more than her curse.
Over a century ago, hidden in the depths of the London sewers, she watched Carlisle Cullen and his men attempt to destroy the very coven that had created her. She saw them fail. She saw them die. And when Carlisle turned, she meant to spare him the torment she knew too well. But standing over him, ready to end his second life before it began, she couldn't do it. Something stopped her something she didn't understand. She fled.
Years passed. The world changed. Audrey remained.
Now, she begins again in the rainy town of Forks, Washington, cloaked in the illusion of a quiet teenage girl. But her new life collides with old truths when Bella Swan arrives, setting into motion a chain of events that will shatter everything Audrey has tried to protect.
Because in Forks, secrets don't stay buried and hunger never stays quiet for long.
