After dreaming about a young girl and a vampire in love, Stephenie Meyer, who had never even attempted to write fiction before drafting Twilight, felt compelled to write their story.

It's hard to believe that a series that has meant so much to so many people started off as a dream-literally. All four Twilight books in the original series broke records and dominated The New York Times best seller list. Meyer's Twilight books have been translated into 49 languages, selling more than 160 million copies worldwide. In 2020, Stephenie Meyer revealed that she was working on two additional novels in the Twilight series. This series was followed by two companion novels, most recently Midnight Sun, and a novella. The original Twilight Saga includes four young adult fantasy romance novels that were released annually from 2005 through 2008. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life-first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse-seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed.Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga is more than just a young adult series-it was a cultural phenomenon that remains popular and continues to influence young adult literature, vampire fiction, youth culture, and pop culture. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs.Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options.
