With Jasper now a part of the Volturi, the Cullens sort out amongst themselves on what they plan to do next. Edward and Bella slowly build their relationship after the hindrances that stood their way. The shifters continue to live on high alert as the sudden influx of rogue vampires and traveling covens around Washington pose a threat to the peaceful lives of the unsuspecting humans. Certain members of the Volturi lurk behind the shadows, keeping an eye on everything in Washington following the orders of their leaders. A prize has been set to those who can present to the Volturi a 'special' human, another Cullen, or a shape-shifter. The game is now set and the hunt is on.
