Publisher Little, Brown said the book draws โ€œon the classic myth of Hades and Persephoneโ€ to revisit Bella Swan’s romance with Edward Cullen in โ€œan epic novel about the profound pleasures and devastating consequences of immortal loveโ€.

โ€œThis unforgettable tale as told through Edwardโ€™s eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting beautiful, mysterious Bella is both the most intriguing and unnerving event he has experienced in his long life as a vampire,โ€ continues the publisher.

โ€œAs we learn more fascinating details about Edwardโ€™s past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he let himself fall in love with Bella when he knows that he is endangering her life?โ€

The retelling of theย Twilightย series from Edward Cullen’s perspective was originally discontinued when a draft was leaked online. At the time, Meyer called it “a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being” and found herself in the wrong state of mind to carry on with the project.

It seems that time has healed that particular wound.

โ€œItโ€™s a crazy time right now and I wasnโ€™t sure it was the right time to put this book out, but some of you have been waiting for just so so long it didnโ€™t seem right to make you wait any more,” Meyer said when announcing the release ofย Midnight Sunย onย Good Morning America.ย 

The novel arrives on bookshelves on August 4, 2020.
