Discover the Twilight Story
The main character in the Twilight series is a teenage girl named Bella Swan. She moves to a small, rainy town called Forks, Washington. There, she meets a mysterious and handsome boy named Edward Cullen.
Bella and Edward's World
Bella soon learns that Edward and his family are not ordinary people. They are vampires, but they are different from others. The Cullen family chooses not to drink human blood. Instead, they only feed on animals. This makes them "vegetarian" vampires.
Their love story is a central part of the books. Bella and Edward fall deeply in love, but their relationship faces many dangers. These dangers come from other vampires who are not as kind as the Cullens.
The Werewolf Pack
As the story continues, Bella also becomes close friends with Jacob Black. Jacob is a member of the Quileute tribe. He is also a werewolf, which means he can change into a large wolf. The vampires and werewolves in Forks have a long history. They are often rivals, but they also have a truce.
Jacob's feelings for Bella grow, creating a love triangle. Bella finds herself torn between her love for Edward and her strong friendship with Jacob. This choice is a big part of the series.
