SHADOWS OF THE LAMP • BOOK 3

The Eclipse of Erebus

By Vesper Starforge

When the sun goes dark, love must hold London’s light.

London has seventeen days before the sky turns black. Edwin Blackthorn has been trying to build peace after the horrors of Westgrave Street, but a soul-bound coin carries a warning from his long-dead ancestor: the Erebus Society has survived, hidden behind respectable doors, and it is waiting for the coming solar eclipse.

Julian Thorne is still recovering from magical injuries that nearly destroyed him, and Edwin knows how fragile peace can be when love has already paid such a high price. Their partnership has endured magic, betrayal, and darkness, but this new threat reaches into bloodlines, old duties, and powers neither of them fully understands.

The trail pulls them through occult shops, gentlemen’s clubs, and the buried architecture of the Guild Reliquary, where forbidden wards and family secrets guard the truth Eleanor Ashworth died trying to protect. At the centre of it all waits Lady Beatrice Corbin, the society she commands, and a weapon called the Nocturne Key.

As London moves closer to eclipse, Edwin and Julian must trust their allies, their courage, and the bond that has carried them through every darkness so far. If the Erebus Society opens the city to a realm of living shadow, love may be the only light left strong enough to stand against it.

The Eclipse of Erebus is a gothic MM Boys’ Love gaslamp fantasy mystery, blending an established romantic partnership, hurt/comfort devotion, occult conspiracy, shadow magic, and supernatural danger in a darkly atmospheric London.
