It's been ten years since Bella was turned. It's been ten years since Renesmee was born. It's been ten years since the Volturi last showed their faces outside of Volterra. And it's been ten years of peace for the Cullen family.
Eventually, though, the Cullens had to leave Forks - to the disdain of Charlie (who was growing old at this point). Renesmee couldn't leave without Jacob, so Jacob agreed to come along. He had become a very close part of the family. But along with Jacob were a few werewolves who refused to stay behind when their friend was leaving. These werewolves were Leah and Seth Clearwater, Quil Ateara (who brought his imprint, Claire), and Embry Call. So, a complete family, the coven/pack moved out of Forks up north into Canada to a tiny rainy town called Nova Alterra. This is where they have remained for two years now.
The Cullens (all of them) have enrolled in school and are moving along just fine. Life has seemed to flourish for them.
Back home in La Push, however, things are not going so smoothly. Sam is struggling a bit in controlling all of the new werewolves appearing everywhere. There's just one problem: they don't know why all of these new werewolves are appearing everywhere. In fact, so many that it seems as though over half of La Push are running around on four legs instead of two. Sam and those that remained after Jacob and the others left are confused and frantic at the same time. Confused, because... they don't know why the pack has suddenly increased in size. Frantic, because... they have to control these new wolves.
Turns out that life isn't as easy as it was. Vampires are appearing outside in the forests, but who are they? Well, it turns out that one of the Cullens' past has come to haunt them.
What Cullen is it? The Cullen is Jasper Hale.
Maria heard from valuable sources (Peter and Charlotte perhaps, but nobody really knows... though it's almost obvious that it is them...) that Jasper had a mate and was living with some freak family up in the Olymipic area. She decided to get her old general back - a new vampire has strolled into town in Mexico and she wants her territory back. So who has she brought? Half of what had been her army. Maria wants this new mate of Jasper's dead.
Oh, and what else has Maria heard about Jasper's new life? Well, she's heard that there the coven he has chosen is one of the biggest in the vampire world. Feeling threatened, she also wants them dead as well. Not to mention her sources have told her that the members of the family are very close. Pleased by this news, she plans on picking them off one by one. She's not sure how yet, but she's ready. All she needs to do is find Jasper and his new coven and rip them to pieces...
When the pack learns of Maria (and only part of her dangerous plan), Sam goes to Nova Alterra himself to deliver the news. Jasper is horrified, and his life goes into overdrive to not only protect Alice, but his new family. And all of the Cullens, Renesmee and the mini-pack included, are also bent on protecting the little pixie and on keeping one of their newest additions. Can they keep the family together?
VOLTURI
That's not the only problem the Cullens now face. The Volturi have had plenty of time to think on what happened ten years ago. And they want revenge. As bloody as revenge can get. But they are changing plans so quickly that even poor Alice cannot see what lies in the road ahead.
But one thing is for certain: the Volturi want some of the Cullens for their own. Aro has decided. He is going to get what he wants, whether they be willing or not. They want Bella for her shield. They want Alice for her visions. They want Renesmee for experimentation, and probably for having fun with later on (hey, who's ever heard of a human with vampire strength? surely she's fun to throw around). They want Emmett now too for his strength. And Aro has decided that he wants Edward for his quick mind-reading abilities and some watch-dogs.
The Cullens are now panicking - what are they to do? And the entire town of Nova Alterra is in danger now. When, and how will the Volturi attack? Or will they attack at all, and merely take what they want? Time will only tell, but this could be the end of the Cullens - all of them.
