   Summary

   This story starts when Edward goes to Volterra after believing Bella was dead.

   Bella Swan never expected Volterra to feel like home.

   What begins as an uneasy place among the Volturi slowly becomes something far more complicated: friendship, loyalty, a family she never meant to find - and Demetri.

   The connection between them is undeniable, but neither of them is willing to let an ancient bond make their choices for them. As attraction turns into trust and trust into something neither can ignore, Bella must decide what she wants her immortal life to look like. And who she wants beside her when the past inevitably comes calling.

   Because in a world of blood, power, and predestined bonds, choosing someone might mean far more than simply being meant for them.
