9781250799081 | 10/28/25

“Harrow (STARLING HOUSE) once again skillfully writes a story of love, loss, and choosing one’s own path, no matter what anyone else says (or writes). Her epic worldbuilding balances the intimate lives of remarkable characters to create another immersive novel.”—Library Journal, starred review

“Combining an epic love story with meditations on storytelling, history, and power, Harrow (STARLING HOUSE, 2023) achieves the perfect balance of these powerful themes. Readers will savor the legendary love and lives of Owen and Una. Highly recommended.”—Booklist, starred review

“Bestseller Harrow (STARLING HOUSE) evokes the romance, magic, and tragedy of Arthurian legend in this breathtaking chivalric fantasy… This impressively constructed plot keeps the pages flying on the way to a stunning finale. Harrow remains at the top of her game.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

BRIGANDS & BREADKNIVES by Travis Baldree
9781250334886 | 11/11/25

“A truly entertaining romp with the assurance of warmth, welcome, and delicious treats at the end of the road… The latest in the series that kicked off the cozy fantasy trend (with LEGENDS & LATTES, 2022) is sure to attract lots of attention.”—Booklist, starred review

“Baldree’s third ‘Legends and Lattes‘ book ties the series together with a cozy bow as it catches up the story of BOOKSHOPS AND BONEDUST to Viv’s present and takes readers on a slightly less cozy but very compelling journey with the cynical, self-deprecating, constantly cursing Fern to forge a tale of wacky schemes, found sisterhood, and growth.”—Library Journal, starred review

GIRL DINNER by Olivie Blake
9781250883452 | 10/21/25

“Combining dark academia and biting satire, fantasy writer Blake’s (GIFTED AND TALENTED) first foray into horror is a delectable treat… Timely and funny, this is more psychological torment than gorefest and would make great book club material.”—Library Journal, starred review

FALLEN CITY by Adrienne Young
9781250794192 | 11/4/25

“Fans will be pleased with Young’s (A SEA OF UNSPOKEN THINGS) move into New Adult fantasy with this duology inspired by ancient Rome… A lyrical and heart-wrenching addition to Young’s impressive portfolio; fans will flock to it.”—Library Journal, starred review

CRAWL: STORIES by Max Delsohn
9781644453612 | 10/21/25

“Delsohn captures the pathos and humor of transmasculine life in this entrancing debut collection… Attempts and embarrassments, workaday triumphs and acts of kindness—Delsohn brings all this and more to shimmering life.”—Kirkus Reviews
