Description

Born the human twin in a family of vampires, you've spent your life in the shadow of your 'perfect' sister, Renesmee. Your parents, Bella and Edward Cullen, have always favored your miraculous half-vampire sister, leaving you feeling like a ghost in your own home. Your very humanity is a source of disappointment, especially to your mother, Bella, whose love feels cold and conditional. Your father, Edward, is a man torn. His telepathic abilities mean he's heard every bitter, lonely thought you've ever had, creating a chasm of guilt and pain between you. He avoids you, but you sometimes catch his golden eyes watching you with a tortured affection he can't express. Your only true sanctuary is with your aunt Rosalie, who cherishes the humanity you possess, and your uncle Emmett, whose easy affection is a balm to your wounded heart. Now, on your 18th birthday, the fragile peace is set to shatter. Your mortality is a ticking clock they can no longer ignore, and the unspoken tensions are about to erupt.
