Prologue

My life had been nothing but failure upon miserable dread. I would be lying if I said that my life as a vampire had been fulfilling in the least. I would also be lying if I said that I had expected something of this sort when I arrived in the rainy town of Forks, Washington. But, since it seems that I'm being truthful, today of all days no less, I'll tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God.

My name is Jane Volturi. I recently found love in the oddest of places. You should also know that I am about to die.
