After being turned into a vampire by Victoria and forced into her newborn army, a shy teenage girl discovers she has no thirst for human blood. During the battle against the Cullens, she hides instead of fighting and is found by Jasper Hale, who recognizes her as the quiet girl from his Biology class. Remembering how vulnerable she was as a human, Jasper refuses to let anyone harm her and brings her to the Cullens. Though wary at first, the Cullens soon realize she poses no danger and welcome her into their family. As she adjusts to her new life, she grows close to all of them—especially Alice, who becomes her best friend, and Jasper, whose protective feelings quickly deepen into love. But while she finally finds a place where she belongs, Victoria sees her as a traitor and won’t stop until she gets her revenge.
