Just Announced: Twilight: The South Shall Bite Again

Little, Brown and Co. have announced the release of the new Twilight book titled: Twilight: The South Shall Bite Again. In the book, author Stephanie Meyer brings Edward and Jacob on opposing sides in the American Civil War.

Below is the synopsis from the publisher:

The year is 1863 and Confederate Lt. Edward Cullen has just been handed his first assignment, the Virginia 8^th Cavalry. Unbeknown to his soldiers and commanders, Lt. Cullen is a thousand year old vampire who is hell bent on keeping slavery to save his family plantation.

Corporal Jacob Black is a Union spy and a secret werewolf assigned to Lt. Cullen’s platoon. At nights he rides his horse, Hurricane, and plants destruction among the lines. Under the guise of legendary hero, El Zorro, Corporal Black becomes a hero to the underclass of Virginia and slaves around the country.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis orders Lt. Cullen to stop “El Zorro” at any cost. Thinking his powers are beyond those of mortal men, Lt. Cullen agrees immediately but is stumped when even he cannot catch the criminal/hero in his acts of sabotage.

In a last ditch effort, Lt. Cullen calls upon four of his friends to help him: King of England Richard the Lionheart send off three of his most notorious vampires, Athos, Porthos and Aramis – known as The Three Musketeers, to help Lt. Cullen with his dilemma.

However, nothing will stop Union spy Jacob Black from his mission, and when he figures out who his enemies are Corporal Black sets up a trap to entice them to come with him to the world’s most notorious vampire hunter.
President Abraham Lincoln.

Happy April Fools.
