Bella Swan has always been a
little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at
her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with
her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect
much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious
and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen, a boy unlike any she's ever met.
Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward
are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a
mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands - and he hasn't
aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs,
and he doesn't drink human blood, as Edward and his family are unique among
vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing
he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more
Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send
him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will they do when Laurent and
James, the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for Bella?
