    In honor of the Twilight series' 10th anniversary, author Stephenie Meyer has rewritten Bella and Edward's story in a 442-page new novel called Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined. And she's reversed their genders.

    The character formerly known as Bella Swan will be known as Beaufort (Beau for short), and Edward Cullen has been reimagined as Edythe.

    Many fans were hoping for the anniversary Meyer would release Midnight Sun, the retelling of the Twilight saga through Edward's perspective.

    Early drafts of the story were leaked back in 2008.

    So why the gender swap? Partly because Meyer doesn't want anyone to see Bella as a damsel in distress anymore. "It's always bothered me a little bit," she said on Good Morning America today.

    But can we hope for another series?

    Probably not. According to Meyer, "I think that this is just one version with Beau."

    OK, but what about a movie?

    Probably not. "I don’t really see that happening and a lot of the people I’d put in it would be like Grace Kelly, so it’s a little too late for some of my first choices," Meyer said.

    But we're choosing to KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.

    Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined is available in bookstores now.
