Every secret has a price, and hers could destroy them all.
When Bella Swan and her fearless best friend, Celeste Rivera, move to the rainy town of Forks, Washington, they expect nothing more than a quiet new start. But Forks is hiding secrets-ancient ones that are about to change their lives forever.
While Bella is drawn into the mysterious world of the Cullens, an enigmatic family with secrets of their own, Celeste's arrival stirs something far deeper. Bold, tomboyish, and unrelentingly strong, Celeste has always hidden her true nature: she's a forbidden blend of werewolf and vampire, a balance of two warring worlds. Not even Bella knows the truth.
As Celeste crosses paths with Jacob Black, their connection is immediate and magnetic-but Jacob's belief that Bella is his mate creates a rift neither of them can ignore. Struggling with feelings he doesn't understand and instincts he can't deny, Jacob is torn between his loyalty to Bella and the pull toward the one person who truly challenges him.
With an ancient threat rising, Forks becomes the battleground for secrets, loyalty, and love. The fragile truce between vampires and werewolves is tested as Celeste's hidden lineage comes to light, sparking a conflict that could destroy everything. Jacob must decide where his heart truly lies, and Celeste must embrace her identity to bridge the gap between two worlds-before her secret is the spark that ignites a war.
