We’re excited to showcase four upcoming novels currently available for pre-order. Spanning epic fantasy, dark coming-of-age stories, and reality-bending speculative fiction, these titles introduce new worlds, debut voices, and expanding sagas you’ll want to experience from the beginning.
2026 Releases
David Kain’s “The Royalists” marks his debut novel.
“The Royalists” is a high fantasy coming-of-age novel about a young knight named Danica, who protects the princess of a fallen kingdom. But the invading army is not the only peril. Danica must decide how far she can trust the Princess Sasha’s allies, the thief and the priestess who ride with them, and her own judgment.
Mary Jane O’Conner’s “Tether” launches The Resonant Saga.
Lyra is still mourning her brother’s death, moving through each day like she’s underwater—sounds muffled, edges blurred, grief pressing down until breathing feels like work. She keeps going anyway, until a strange pulse cuts through the quiet: a sound only she can hear, threading itself beneath her skin like an invisible hook. The moment she follows it, the world splits open, revealing hidden realms that have always existed alongside her own—separate territories with distinct laws, loyalties, and ways of surviving.
Aster, an envoy from the Celestial Mantle, finds Lyra before the realms can swallow her. He offers more than protection: discipline. How to move between worlds. How to shape the pulse instead of being shaped by it. But as Lyra’s resonance grows louder, a high-ranking authority begins to take notice—one that does not see her as a person, but as a vulnerability in the structure of reality itself.
What Aster doesn’t say is that the pulse isn’t coming from any ordinary realm. It’s bleeding through from the Signal Domain, where resonance isn’t merely used—it speaks back. The Domain amplifies whatever its bearer carries inside, turning grief into power and emotion into exposure. If Lyra has been heard, it means something powerful enough to reach through the seams of reality is already listening.
Across three books, The Resonant Saga follows Lyra as she becomes more than a gifted anomaly—becoming a potential pathway between realms. With alliances tightening, truths surfacing, and the Signal Domain humming louder, her choice sharpens: obey the rules that keep her contained, or uncover why her brother’s death is tangled in a sound that refuses to let her go.
2027 Releases — The Amalia Chronicles
David Kain’s “Mark of the Shadow” is his first entry in The Amalia Chronicles.
“Mark of the Shadow” is a coming-of-age tale set in the fantasy realm of Amalia, where all children with a flicker of magical talent must attend the Academy in Qui on pain of death. But when a Priest of the Goddess of Mischief finds Siegfried, a young orphan despised for his unholy shadow magic, he must ask himself if handing the lad over to the Academy is the right thing, or whether both he and Siegfried have been chosen as pieces in a far grander game.
Magebane continues Siegfried’s story in a darker turn.
“Magebane” is a dark coming-of-age novel that finds Siegfried at almost sixteen years of age, at peace and an Inquisitor of the Church of Jynxx. When he and Caleb are sent to investigate reports of a foiled possession on the very edge of the Empire, what they find instead is a community bound together by strict worship, headed by a priest unlike any Siegfried has met before. To solve the mystery, he must face danger, temptation, and the truth of what lies within himself.
We also have “Eyes of Gold” and the second edition of “Blackbirds: Life of a Thief” underway.
