  Summary

  Bella has strange dreams. Alice has impossible visions. (Literally. She should not be able to see what she has seen.) And after millennia unbonded, Aro finds his mate—human and too young to turn.

  It’s a good thing he can be patient, isn’t it?

  Surely there are no other forces, supernatural or mundane, that would interfere with his plans.

   

  [Part I of this story takes us through events corresponding roughly to, but quite different from, the first book, Twilight itself; Part II starts five years later; and we’re not to Part III yet, but oh, what a journey we’ll have to get there.]
