It’s the Beginning of the End for a Bestselling YA Romantasy Novel Series [Exclusive]

In 2026, the romantasy genre is still scorching hot on the page, and that’s especially true of its biggest series. Sarah J. Maas‘ wildly popular A Court of Thorns and Roses saga will heat things up just in time for the cooler months with the release of its sixth installment, A Court of Splintered Harmony, on October 27, and the seventh novel isn’t far behind, releasing in January. Not to be forgotten this fall is Rebecca Yarros‘ Empyrean universe, which, while not bringing the fourth novel in the buzzy Fourth Wing series, has a new collection of stories in Threshing Day, releasing on September 29. Before either of those launches, though, readers can already dig into the conclusion of a fantastical duology from one of the genre’s bestselling authors.
