The Half King by Melissa Landers

Currently, there isn’t even a cover released for this book yet, but as soon as there is, you know it will be beautiful! It is expected to be released on July 9, 2024!

This book is “Beauty and the Beast meets The Sandman in this all-new, scorching-hot NA fantasy from Melissa Landers, in a world where every firstborn child of the noble houses bears a curse… and only one heretic cult might hold the answers to breaking them.”

I don’t know about you, but I am super excited to see what this newest release from Ret Tower Books and Entangled Publishing will look like!

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros

Of course, one of the most anticipated fantasy romance releases is Iron Flame. This is the sequel to the massively popular Fourth Wing.

This book is already causing some controversy, though. Instead of stenciled edges, it has sprayed black ones. While some are a little annoyed by this, it is because stenciled edges would push the release date back.

Iron Flame will be hitting shelves on November 7, 2023. Yes, in the same year as the first book.
