Two years ago, Cherry disappeared from home and was turned into a vampire. She spent those two years learning how to survive her new existence, keeping her distance from the people she loved and carrying the weight of everything that had happened to her alone. Now, after two years away, Cherry finally returns home—but she isn’t the same girl who left. She has changed, grown stronger, and carries secrets she isn’t ready to share. Coming back means facing Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Rosalie, and the rest of the family while trying to figure out where she belongs now. Jasper is especially drawn to Cherry. There is something about her presence that affects him differently, and the more time they spend together, the stronger their connection becomes. But Cherry’s return also brings questions about where she has been, who turned her, and what happened during those missing two years. As old relationships are rebuilt and new feelings begin to surface, Cherry must finally confront the past she ran from—and decide whether coming home means returning to the life she lost or beginning an entirely new one.
