About New Moon

New Moon Summary

In New Moon, the Twilight story continues to unfold.

Bella Swan's disastrous eighteenth birthday party at the Cullen mansion has even more disastrous results- She always knew she wasn't good enough for Edward Cullen and now her worst fear comes to pass when Edward tells her he doesn't want her anymore! In “New Moon”, the whole Cullen family packs up and disappears from Forks, leaving an empty house and nothing but pain where Bella's heart used to be. When Edward leaves, everything they shared disappears along with him. It is as if he never existed.

Bella lives for the next few months in a Twilight world and wakes every morning screaming from the emptiness in her dreams. Still, Edward and everything connected with him is gone and she cannot bear to think of him or hear the mention of his name.

After her father threatens to send her to Florida to stay with her mother, Bella tries to revive old friendships only to have her new best friend, Jacob Black, turn into a werewolf! Her knowledge of Jacob's secret life haunts her when her father talks about hikers disappearing in the woods around Forks, and Bella is sure her friend is involved.

On her way to warn Jacob about the posse led by her father, Bella goes cliffdiving and nearly drowns. She is seen jumping into the ocean by Edward's sister, Alice, and now Edward thinks she is dead. Alice discovers her mistake- that Bella is in fact alive- and begs Bella to help her thwart Edward's suicide plan.

Can Bella save Edward from his brilliant plan to force the hand of the powerful Volturi vampires so they will destroy him? In a race against time, will they beat Edward's death march- or will New Moon be the end of Edward Cullen?
