The Heat Of Stone

Forks, Washington has always been a quiet place-drenched in rain, wrapped in mist, and haunted by secrets that prefer the dark. But when Charlotte arrives, the stillness fractures. She's not like the others. Too composed. Too observant. Too... old, in ways no one can quite name.

The Cullens notice first. Especially Edward, whose gift has never failed him-until now. Her thoughts are a silence he can't penetrate, a void that pulls at something buried deep in his past. As Charlotte slips into the rhythm of high school life, the balance begins to tilt. Old instincts stir. Old rules tremble.

She came to Forks to disappear. But some shadows are too large to stay hidden.
