Edward Cullen faces his greatest challenge when Bella Swan walks into his biology class. For the first time in his vampire existence, someone tests every limit of his self-control. Bella represents both dangerous temptation and impossible promise. Her scent could drive him to kill her, yet her presence awakens feelings he thought were lost forever. Edward must navigate the internal war between his bloodthirsty nature and his growing love for this fragile human girl. He struggles to protect Bella while hiding his true identity, knowing that loving her could destroy them both. This retelling of their first meeting reveals the darkness Edward carries and the fierce battle he wages within himself. The familiar love story takes on new shadows when seen through vampire eyes.
