The Twilight Saga 3: Eclipse PREFACE
To my husband, Pancho,for your patience, love, friendship, humor,and willingness to eat out.And also to my children, Gabe, Seth, and Eli,for letting me experience the kind of love that people freely fall out for. Fire and IceSome assign the world will end in fire, Some say in ice.From what Ive tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. Robert Frost forewordALL OUR ATTEMPTS AT SUBTERFUGE HAD BEEN IN VAIN.With ice in my heart, I watched him prepare to defend me. His longing concentration betrayed no hint of doubt, though he was outnumbered. I knew that we could expect no help at this moment, his family was fighting for their lives just as surely as he was for ours.Would I ever learn the termination of that other fight? Find out who the winners and the losers were? Would I live long enough for that?The odds of that didnt aroma so great.Black eyes, wild with their fierce craving for my death, watched for the moment when my protectors attention would be diverted. The moment when I would surely die.Somewhere, far, far away in the cold forest, a wolf howled.
