Edward left Bella broken, but not alone. She still had her father, her mother, the pack and Jake. When a vengeful Victoria puts all her efforts into changing that, however, Bella decides to run before more damage could be done. But she soon realizes there is no way she can outrun a superfast vampiress bent on revenge. So...she stops running,... waits... and leaves it all up to fate.

After receiving an invitation to write the biography of the severely reclusive author Ethan Church, Bella develops a reluctant obsession with his novels and by extension him. When she accepts his offer, the old, dying man she's presented with and the young, too perfect man she comes across on the nearly empty estate have her convinced she's missing some very important parts of the story.
