Starry Knight knew that the last battle with Draco and Alkuzor would be the hardest battle she would ever face. Or was it?

Hamilton Dinger has never gotten along well with Starry Knight. Only Starry Knight knows the real reason, and the real danger, when it comes to working alongside him. When a new demon monster takes over the phone lines of the city, Starry Knight races off to help her co-defender. As they fight together under the moonlight, Starry Knight faces a new test of her power, and a new test of her heart. This is a short story set between book two and book three of the Starlight Chronicles.

Can he find comfort in Adonaias' own struggle with anxiety and fear?

Hamilton Dinger is not having a good summer. Since his battle with Orpheus and Starry Knight, he has felt distracted. Not with important things, or anything, really. Just work and video games and sleeping in during the summer. When Elysian forces him out of the house, Hamilton heads out for Rachel's, only to find out it is closed for her wedding. Hamilton is relieved, and then concerned, as a new demon gets ready to attack the ceremony. Can he save Rachel's big day, without letting his anger toward Starry Knight get in the way?

Christmas is a time for miracles, but miracles have always bothered Hamilton Dinger. This Christmas Eve, he has only two reasons to be cheerful: Rachel's Cafe is open late, and he has a special present for Gwen Kessler. So even if he has to sit through a session of Grandpa Odd's ramblings, he knows he'll have some holiday mocha and a chance at finally telling Gwen how he feels about her.

It has been many years since that day, the day Hamilton Dinger wishes to forget, along with the ache in his heart. But his desire to let go of the past is usurped when the future comes barreling into his apartment in the form of two young Starlight defenders, Lucas and Lyra, calling for a new mission for the retired Wingdinger. More than reluctantly, Hamilton heads home to Apollo City as Dante Salyards, now a rogue agent from SWORD, seeks his help in dismantling a new administration of evil in Apollo City.

The end is approaching for Hamilton Dinger and his friends. As the forces of darkness in Apollo City gain power, Hamilton finds himself on trial as the media, the law, and even his friends seem to have turned on him. The souls of the city, and the world, are on the line as the long-fought war against Alkuzor, Draco, and the Seven Deadly Sinisters comes to a crux with SWORD, Wingdinger, and the forces of Adonaias.

Despite the decrease in crime and attacks, Hamilton knows it is only a matter of time before the remaining Sinisters and their mysterious new leader cause more trouble for him. When Alora comes under attack, Hamilton and his team, with help from his new friend, Mary, set off with St. Brendan the Navigator to restore the flow of time. But it is only after they work to save Time do they realize how little of it they have left.
