New Fantasy YA Series Launching in 2026

In this Irish-inspired fantasy, magic is only for the elite.

Éadha, a servant girl, is not supposed to wield magic. This rare ability puts her life at risk as she’s thrust into a world with a class divide. Ionáin, the heir to the ruling family of Ailm’s Keep, should be able to cast magic himself, but this failure somehow puts him in danger. Éadha, who loves Ionáin, must save him and the Keep.

The second book in the series, Her Rising Flame, was published earlier this month. It picks up where the first book left off, with Éadha on the run for her life.

Meng Lingxi and her grandmother manage an auction house, and the arrival of a mysterious customer brings about catastrophic events. Meng Lingxi’s grandmother suddenly vanishes, and all that she’s ever known about her life changes.

To make matters worse, Meng Lingxi finds out that her grandmother is a servant to the god of the Underworld, and their auction house serves as a portal to hell. To stage a rescue mission, she embarks on a dangerous journey with the help of unlikely allies.

In Blood of Silver, Linh’s mother has recently died when a strange and mysterious boy pays her a visit, and her life takes a turn for the worse. The boy reveals himself to be the Crown Prince of a magical world called Ebrirene and tells Linh about her mother’s past.

She learns that her mother sealed a doorway many years ago that locked out demons. Now, Ebrirene is under attack from these same creatures. The visitor believes that Linh has the power to fortify the portal and seal it forever. The fate of Ebrirene now rests in her hands.

The River She Became follows Yasema, a scholar to the Empire, who secretly reclaims stolen fae relics and uses their power to restore magic to her dying lands.

She finds one that enables her to cross into the Fae world, but a dark realm opens up instead. In there, she meets a captain who works to save the kingdom and asks for Yaseema’s help to find an ancient fae relic.

This new discovery delays her from saving her own lands. So, they must work together to help both of their worlds.

Wicked Endeavors follows Caya, a former ward of Coventry’s royal family, who were killed by three powerful witches. Now, she wants to exact her revenge by infiltrating their ranks.

With the help of a powerful ally, she assumes the identity of an alluring noblewoman named Marisol Vinyet. As someone who belongs in high society, she’s able to attend the Coronet, a social event for witches that a prince she plans to kill will attend.

However, her plans are derailed when she discovers that the prince is not who he seems to be. He’s charming, and she’s the one slowly being bewitched.

The Baldwins and the Davenports have been fierce enemies for centuries. When two of their respective clan members fell in love and tried to elope, they got caught by a powerful witch. To free themselves, they struck a deal with her: the families were given magic and the ability to exist outside of time, but the price was exorbitantly high.

Every generation, each of the families must present a competitor for a magical duel that leads to death, which powers the witch’s immortality. Emma Baldwin and Malcolm Davenport must fight to death to fulfill their ancestors’ end of the bargain.

But instead of killing each other, they start to grow closer. To be able to fight for this love, they’ll have to end the curse on their families—but at what expense?
