' It was the baby girl in the blonde vampire's arms that held me here now.' ' The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where I stood.' I'd never seen the symmetry of the universe before, but now it was plain.' ' I could see that now-how the universe swirled around this one point.

A million steel cables all tying me to one thing-to the very center of the universe.' ' Everything that made me who I was-my love for the dead girl upstairs, my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, the love for my other brothers, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, my self -disconnected from me in that second-snip, snip, snip -and floated up into space.' ' My shaking jerked to a stop heat flooded through me, stronger than before, but it was a new kind of heat-not a burning.' ' Warm brown eyes, the color of milk chocolate-the exact same color that Bella's had been.' Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life-first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse-seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed.' The murderer stared past Rosalie's shoulder at me, its gaze more focused than any newborn creature's gaze should be.' Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point.
