The tale starts with the thought that Seattle, Washington has been plagued by a chain of unsolved murders, which Edward thinks is caused by a brand new vampire that he is unable to restrain its thirst to get human being blood. As Edward and Bella sign up for colleges, Bella explains to Edward her desire to see her good friend, Jacob Black, a werewolf.

At the same time, Alice Cullen has a thought that Victoria, a creature of the night that is searching for Bella for vengeance, has returned to Forks. Several days after, Edward proposes to Bella and, regardless of sheltering an aversion to matrimony, she welcomes it.

Bella and the Cullens quickly understand that the Seattle murders are being committed by an "military" of baby vampires, controlled by Victoria. The Cullens join forces with the wolf group to fight this risk. As all others prepares for the fight, Edward, Bella, along with Jacob camp inside the mountain tops hidden through the fight where they're later on joined by Seth Clearwater, a young wolf pack member, to wait out the fight.

In the morning, Jacob gets annoyed while he hears Edward and Bella discussing their engagement and intends to join the battle and get himself murdered. In order to prevent him, Bella smooches Jacob and comes to realize that she is actually in love with him also. During the battle, Victoria trails Edward's smell to Bella's woodland hiding location, and Edward needs to attack.

Through the fight, Victoria tracks Edward's aroma to Bella's woodland hiding location, and Edward is forced to attack. Immediately after Victoria and her army are effectively demolished, Bella clarifies to Jacob that although she loves him, her love for Edward is more. After receiving a wedding invite from Edward, Jacob goes away inside his wolf form to flee from his heartbreak about Bella's final decision to become a vampire.
