When Bella Swan races to Volterra to stop Edward Cullen from provoking the Volturi, she isn’t the only one who arrives beneath the ancient city. You have spent your entire life mastering a dangerous gift—one that allows you to hear thoughts, manipulate emotions, and command living shadows. Unlike most humans, you know exactly what you are and exactly how powerful you can be. The last thing you expect is to catch the attention of the three immortal kings who rule the vampire world. Aro is fascinated. Marcus is intrigued. Caius is immediately protective. And all three quickly realize the impossible truth: the human standing before them is their fated mate. As tensions rise between the Cullens and the Volturi, you find yourself caught between ancient politics, supernatural threats, and a bond neither you nor the kings were prepared for. But while most humans would be intimidated by the rulers of Volterra, you have no intention of bowing to anyone—not even three of the most feared vampires in existence. After all, fate may have chosen you for the kings. That doesn’t mean you’re going to make it easy for them.
