As the reader learns more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, they understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire.

This unforgettable tale, as told through Edward's eyes, takes on a new and decidedly dark twist.

At last, readers can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of the story. When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. It was officially released on August 4, 2020. In May 2020, despite previously abandoning the manuscript, Meyer announced the release date of Midnight Sun via an internet announcement. Midnight Sun allows fans to know more about the Cullens as vampires and a family. To give them a better feel of Edward's character, Meyer allowed Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the film adaptation of Twilight, and Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward, to read some completed chapters of the novel while they were filming the movie. Meyer has stated that Twilight is the only possible book from the series that she plans to rewrite from Edward's perspective. It started as a simple character exercise, with a single chapter from Edward's perspective, but she came to realize she had to do the whole book. It is a retelling of the events of Twilight from the perspective of Edward Cullen as opposed to that of Bella Swan. Midnight Sun is a companion novel to the book Twilight by author Stephenie Meyer.
