Set in a faerie kingdom rife with rebellion, the latest from Hawley (A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon) features a cruel Fae court where a human servant, Kenna Heron, is set against grueling trials.

The first of a planned 10 volumes, this award-winning webcomic is coming to print as a novel in a specially designed package with sprayed edges, foil stamping, and more. The story, about a duke’s daughter who is married to a warrior, blends magic and politics—and a woman finding her power.

Bestselling Pearson moves from books for young readers to adult romantasy in this series starter. Bristol is pulled into the secret of her family: that there is a realm inhabited by magic. Searching for her father, she finds the fae leader Tyghan and makes a pact with him—one that comes with both danger and romance.

Bestselling Roberts gets a million-copy first printing for the second in her “The Lost Bride” trilogy. Sonya MacTavish has inherited a haunted house, but that is not the end of her troubles. She also slips through a mirror and witnesses the start of a curse that she must end, of a bride murdered on her wedding day.

Robinson, Rebecca. The Serpent and the Wolf. Saga. Nov. 2024. ISBN 9781668052488. 352p. $28.99. ROMANTASY

Robinson debuts with an enemies-to-lovers story featuring Vaasa Kozár, the sister of a merciless ruler who craves her death. He marries her off to his enemy, but Reid of Mireh knows about the magic pressing on Vaasa and makes a deal with her—he will help her with magic, if she will help him gain power.
