I.M. Swan a best-selling author is on top of the literary world. After coming off her book tour for her latest book, she has begun her research for the next, a book on the Chicago Mafia. Spending hours in the library and courthouse, she is surprised to find out a most curious piece of information about the Don of the largest crime family. He is not the rightful heir to the family.

Aro Volturi planned and executed the complete destruction of the Cullen family. Wiping away any documentation or body of any evidence of the family from the face of the earth, or he thought so.

Edward Cullen was smuggled away with the aid of his faithful nanny, who kept him safe until it was time for him to take revenge for his family's death. Training and building a new, stronger family to take back what is rightfully his and executing the man who took his family from him.

One evening, as Edward is following one of Aro’s hitman, he witnesses him a young woman in the alley. Coming to her aid, he is mesmerized by her beauty and when he gets to know her, he is in awe of her intellect.

            Will Bella be able to survive with Edward’s help or will Aro get to her and silence her forever? E&B

Silence. Honor. Humility.  This was the world as I knew it. Isabella didn't change this for me, she made it clearer. She became a part of that oath as I spoke the words, because a man who couldn't protect his family, couldn't be trusted to protect the organization. “We settle things like men, amongst men, we don't run to cops like cowards.”
