Bella Swan was born in Forks, but was taken away from her father at a young age. Her mother, Renee, decided to leave Charlie because she didn't want to get stuck in that town. Bella was only three years old.
They flew to Italy, where Renee found a new love for art. She made artwork and was very good at it too. She made much money, but it wouldn't keep Bella there. Even as a young child, Bella enjoyed to explore, until she found something she wasn't sure was real, or just a dream.
She befriended the impossible, immortal. But it was all too much. She had to move back.
Now, Bella is heading back to Forks, the dreaded place Renee had talked about. As if it was so awful. But Bella is running away from something that is much bigger than their motherly, daughterly bond. If Bella doesn't leave it may put her mom in danger.
So she flees to Forks, where she is greeted by a family full of creatures she was running from.
The Cullens.
And Bella is hiding something from everyone she cares dearly about. Except for the Cullens, nobody knows about this extraordinary power that she upholds. And hopefully it will stay that way.
*** As you know, as a reader, none of these characters are mine. The plot is mine though. I have twisted it into something treacherously dangerous. Either it will succeed or fail. But all thanks to Stephenie Meyer ***
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
