Breaking Dawn

Stephenie Meyer

2000

In the explosive fourth book in the epic romantic saga, Bella has one final choice to make. Should she stay mortal and strengthen her connection to the werewolves—or leave it all behind to become a vampire? When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs. This astonishing, breathlessly anticipated fourth book of The Twilight Saga illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this heart electrifying romantic epic. “You too might fall in love with its suspense and moving sensitivity" (The Daily News Tribune) Praise for The Twilight Saga “This tale of tortured demon lovers entices”—Kirkus Reviews "In the tradition of Anne Rice. . . this dark romance is gripping." —Booklist (starred review) "The novel's danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive." —School Library Journal (starred review) “Relish this new adventure and hunger for more”—Booklist A New York Times bestseller A New York Times "Editor's Choice" A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year An Amazon best of #Booktok Book
