In the third episode of Bella and Edward's story, they are applying to colleges together. They've reconciled and decided to maintain a relationship. The strain between Bella and Jacob Black reflects the strain between vampires and werewolves as the tribe worries that Bella's relationship with Edward.
The werewolves worry the vampires will break their truce and turn Bella. Edward continues to refuse her requests to change her; Bella still cannot bear the idea of life without Edward and continues to ask Edward to bite her. When Edward proposes Bella takes the chance to extract a promise that he'll take the need to step while she's still human - Rosalie gives Bella a new perspective on humanity.
Alice has a vision that a vampire army is moving toward the family in Forks. They are led by Victoria who, again, is after Bella, this time for James's death. Victoria creates an army of newborn vampires who cannot control the hunger and are murdering innocents in Seattle.
The Cullens call on their longtime allies to assist as Victoria's army moves on Forks. When they declined the LaPush werewolves stand with the Cullens. Jacob, Edward, Bella and a young wolf are sent into the mountains to wait out the battle.
In the mountains Jacob overhears Bella and Edward discussing their engagement. He threatens to join the battle leading to his death; Bella fears for her friendship - but when Victoria tracks them to their mountain hideout the question of who will fight for her becomes null.
Bella and Edward continue to plan their future while her relationship with Jacob collapses. Victoria's attack draws the Volturi's attention yet again as their demands are renewed.
Eclipse introduces the idea that not all the vampires wanted their conversion and sets monstrosity against humanity. As Bella makes her choice between the two love interests clear the fallout is similar to many teen romances. Teens who enjoyed the first two novels will understand the drama of Eclipse.
