Myer announced that 'Midnight Sun', the new novel in her vampire romance series, will be published on August 4, more than a decade after the original story concluded. The new book will be a companion novel to the series that retells the love story of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen through Edward Cullen’s perspective.

"I hope this announcement doesn’t seem ill-timed,” Meyer wrote on her website, alluding to the ongoing coronavirus crisis. “I really considered delaying the release until the world was back to normal. However, 1) who knows when that will be? And 2) you guys have waited long enough. Much longer than long enough, actually.”

“It’s a crazy time right now and I wasn’t sure if this was the right time to put this book out, but some of you have been waiting for just so, so long,” Meyer said, per Good Morning America, on Monday, May 4th. “It didn’t seem fair to make you wait anymore. Sorry about the bad timing. Hopefully, this book can be a distraction from the real world. I’m so excited to finally be able to share it with you.”
