A companion novel to Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The story retells the events of Twilight from the perspective of Edward Cullen, giving readers direct access to his thoughts, emotions, and struggles.

Edward is instantly drawn to Bella Swan but also views her as a danger to himself because of her irresistible scent. Throughout the novel, he battles his vampire instincts while trying to protect Bella from both supernatural and human threats. Readers gain a deeper understanding of Edward's inner conflict, the Cullen family's dynamics, and the hidden events occurring behind the scenes of the original story.

While fans of the series appreciate the additional world-building and character insight, some readers find the novel slower and more repetitive because it revisits a story they already know from a different viewpoint.
