Erebus has existed since the beginning of time.

Ancient. Powerful. Untouchable.

As the living embodiment of Night itself, he has spent eternity ushering darkness across the world before surrendering the sky to Dawn each morning.
Until one exhausted barista offers him a free scone.

Calliope Craven works the closing shift at Ghoulish Grinds, Blackthorn Bay’s favorite supernatural coffeehouse. Between late-night customers, monster tourists, and barely making rent, she’s too busy surviving to notice there’s something unusual about the quiet, handsome man who keeps appearing just before closing.
But Erebus notices her.

Her kindness. Her warmth. The way she smiles at strangers even when she’s exhausted.
And for the first time in eternity… Night wants something for himself.

What begins as innocent fascination quickly spirals into obsession. Erebus starts lingering outside the coffee shop, walking Calliope home from work, and stretching the nights longer just to spend more time near her.

Then he stops letting the sun rise altogether.
Now Blackthorn Bay is trapped in perpetual darkness, the town council is in chaos, and everyone—from Mayor Zadok Infernalis to the furious local witches—is desperate to fix Erebus’s love life before the entire town loses its mind.

Unfortunately, convincing an ancient cosmic entity to let go of the woman he loves may be impossible.
Especially when Calliope is starting to fall for him too.

Welcome back to Blackthorn Bay, where the coffee is enchanted, the monsters are lovesick, and even eternal darkness can’t compete with true love.
