The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
It all begins... with a choice.
Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob, knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “immortal love triangle”. The story fights on E8/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, love, immortality, choice, identity.
