It’s a new year and a new opportunity to stuff our shelves full of heaps of amazing new books! Naturally. There are a serious number of exciting releases coming out this month, and I’m going to have a hard time reining myself in when I visit a bookstore. But let’s take a look at some of the books on my radar.
Fantasy 🪄
Dragon Cursed
Elise Kova
I’ve recently been really enjoying Elise Kova’s books, and I’ve just picked up Arcana Academy over Christmas to read. So I’m sooo ready for her next epic read – and, dragons!!! Nothing makes me happier than a trusted author taking on dragons.
About the book
The moment you see a dragon is usually your last…
Since the dragons emerged–along with the scourge that ravaged our lands and people–there’s only one human city that remains Vinguard.
But the hellfire from above is nothing compared to he threat from within. For there is no worse fate than being dragon cursed. Slowly and excruciatingly, you’ll be transformed into a mindless beast who destroys everything–and everyone–you love.
Any of us could be tainted. Any of us could be lying. Any of us could be caught and killed by the authorities.
And I’m terrified that I might be next.
There’s only one other person who might suspect my secret. He’s like my shadow, following me wherever I go. Part protector, part tormentor, fully annoying. Sometimes I think I am just one of the million unfathomable secrets he keeps hidden.
Because Lucan definitely knows something.
And if I’m dragon cursed, death might be the only mercy I get.
The Swan’s Daughter
Roshani Chokshi
I told you we were in for a treat in January – a new Roshani Chokshi! We’re off to a fantastic start of the years. Quite frankly, I enjoyed The Gilded Wolves so much that I’d pick up anything by Chokshi to give it a go. And this sounds like a romantasy featuring a prince and a maiden – one where, thanks to poorly worded wish-turned-curse, the prince expects to be murdered once he’s married.
About the book
In this lush and romantic novel from New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi, a prince is only as good as his beating heart and a maiden is only as good as her honest word. But when love and the truth become impossibly tangled, the two must figure out how to survive together, or fall completely apart.
To find love is a curse …Prince Arris knows that marriage means murder. Thanks to a poorly worded wish to a sea witch, all one needs to rule the Isle of Malys is the heart and hand of the kingdom’s heir. Historically, this has been construed quite literally.
Thus, Arris expects that the day after his marriage and murder he will wake up as a sentient tree alongside the rest of his predecessors. His only chance at a long life is finding true and lasting love. When Arris’s parents announce a tournament of brides to compete for his hand and heart, a slew of eligible, lovely and (possibly murderous) bachelorettes make their way to Rathe Castle. Amidst glittering balls in ozorald caves, strolls through menageries of daydream trees and pearl crocodiles, tea time on glass boats and kisses that leave his head spinning, Arris cannot tell who is here out of love for him…or lust for power.
Until he meets Demelza.
As a veritas swan, Demelza’s song wrings out the truth. Forced into hiding, Demelza strikes a deal. Arris will provide her with safekeeping in exchange for her truth-telling song to sort through his potential brides.
While Arris is used to dodging death threats and Demelza is accustomed to fighting for her voice to be heard, to survive the tournament of brides requires a different kind of bravery. And perhaps the bravest thing one can do is not merely protect one’s life, but find the courage to chase a life worth living.
Rings of Fate
Melissa de la Cruz
While I may not have actually read a book by Melissa de la Cruz yet, I’m nonetheless excited to see she’s also entertaining us all with a new release in January. We’ve got all the good things in this one: a prince, a barmaid, a curse, ancient relics and a bound fate. Love this so much – particularly the part where our female protagonist gets unwillingly caught up in the prince’s curse and now can’t walk away without taking half the kingdom down with her, too.
About the book
Every barmaid dreams of a prince. Aren just didn’t expect hers to be cursed, arrogant, and bleeding magical ruin all over her tavern floor.
Aren Bellamore has no use for fairy tales—especially the kind that come stomping through her door with royal blood and a death sentence. She’s spent her life slinging ale, fending off drunks, and dreaming of escape. Not romance. Not crowns. Just more.
Prince Dietan is everything she never wanted: brooding, entitled, and bound to the Rings of Fate—ancient magical relics that were never meant to touch human flesh. Now they’re killing him. Slowly. Spectacularly. And when Aren accidentally triggers one, she gets tied to the curse, too.
If he dies, so does the kingdom. If she walks away, she’ll take the magic—and half the realm—down with her.
Their only hope? Each other.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Aren and Dietan must unravel a mystery buried in legend, outwit a power-hungry usurper, and survive magic that’s turning against them both. And somewhere between dodging assassins and sharing too many fireside glances, Aren starts to wonder if her “more” might include the one thing she swore she didn’t want…
A prince. A curse. And a fate far more dangerous than falling in love.
The Book of Blood and Roses
Annie Summerlee
I believe the shortest way to sum this up, is that we’ve got the following question posed: can a vampire hunter fall in love with a vampire? This follows an undercover vampire hunter at a university, set in the Scottish Highlands. Can it get more enticing than that?
About the book
In book one of a seductive sapphic paranormal fantasy, a vampire hunter goes undercover at a mysterious university and falls in love with her roommate, an alluring vampire.
“Then her red eyes are on mine, gentle, deadly. She takes her time kissing my neck. I pull her closer and say: Bite me.”
In the mists of the Scottish Highlands is a university where vampire students study alongside humans.
Rebecca Charity is a vampire hunter undercover at the university, searching for the mysterious Book of Blood and Roses, a lost compendium of ways to kill vampires. If she finds it, she’ll be one step closer to avenging her parents, who were slain by those creatures of the night.
But when Rebecca arrives, she finds something unexpected: a coffin. Her new roommate is Aliz Astra, scion of one of the most powerful vampire families… and the most beautiful woman Rebecca has ever met.
The maddeningly gorgeous Aliz is everything that Rebecca has always hated, but also everything she ever wanted, and now Rebecca doesn’t know if she wants to kiss or kill her.
When Aliz rescues her from a vampire attack one moonlit night, she accidentally makes Rebecca her familiar. Now, they must work together to break the curse, but as they get closer to solving the mystery, Rebecca and Aliz get closer, too.
But can a vampire hunter ever fall in love with a vampire?
Graceless Heart
Isabel Ibañez
I’m so sold on this one. We’ve got a standalone fantasy novel set in Renaissance Italy. Like, yes please. Weirdly, I’ve been eyeball-deep in 15th-century Italy settings recently, so I’m super duper in the mood to keep that trend going with this beautiful historical setting of Florence. Plus it’s about a competition hosted by a secretive, immortal family – it just gets better and better!
About the book
A lush, atmospheric and achingly magical standalone adult fantasy romance set in Renaissance Italy from a #1 New York Times bestselling author.
In 15th-century Volterra, sculptress Ravenna Maffei enters a competition hosted by a secretive, immortal family who offer an invaluable boon to the victor. Desperate to win so she can save her brother, Ravenna reveals a rare magical talent–a dangerous act in a city where magic is forbidden. Her revelation makes her a target, and she is kidnapped by the Luni family and taken to Florence, a city of breathtaking beauty and cutthroat ambition.
There, Ravenna is forced into an impossible task where failure means certain death at the hands of Saturnino dei Luni, the family’s enigmatic and merciless heir. But under his cold reserve hides a vulnerability that draws her closer than she ever intended.
Meanwhile, Ravenna’s forbidden magic does not go unnoticed. The Pope, waging war against Florence, the Medici, and magic itself, has his own interest in her abilities, seeing her as a potential weapon in his ruthless campaign.
As alliances shift and war brews on the horizon, Ravenna must navigate the treacherous line between survival and betrayal, between love and duty. With time running out and her every move watched, the choices she makes will determine the fate of not just her own life, but the fragile balance of magic and power that could unravel Florence itself.
A Vow in Vengeance
Jaclyn Rodriguez
I’m on the fence with this – I can’t decide if it’s going to be too into romance for my fantasy taste, but I’m totally hooked by the first line of “can you survive the Forge?” Like, I need to know – what is the Forge? Is this a high-stakes sexy fantasy adventure? You can’t deny that sounds a little exciting.
About the book
Deadly tarot, wicked schemes, dangerous alliances . . . can you survive the Forge?
Sexy, action-packed, and brimming with magic, A Vow in Vengeance is an unputdownable romantasy debut.Rune Ryker has nothing left to lose. Everything’s been stolen by the Immortals—her family, her home, her freedom. But she’s done playing by their rules.
Each year, humans are forced to journey into the Immortal Realms, but twenty-year-old Rune orchestrates her own selection, determined to find her family and destroy anyone who stands in her way. Rune is used to doing whatever it takes to survive, and now she must endure the Forge, a cutthroat college for the Immortal druids’ elusive tarot magic. When Rune’s magic reveals itself to be the rarest and most powerful, she must live with its only other wielder—Prince Draven. As arrogant as he is ruthlessly ambitious, he’s the last person she can trust.
Rune’s abilities also draw the eyes of the most dangerous druids in the realms. Some want to use her. More want her dead. Draven offers to train her . . . for a price. As Rune becomes ensnared in Draven’s dangerous games, she learns there are secrets at the heart of the kingdom that some will kill to protect.
And Rune and Draven’s growing attraction may be the spark to ignite a brewing war.
The Poet Empress
Shen Tao
So this is a debut described as perfect for fans of The Serpent & the Wings of Nights, The Song of Achillies and She Who Became the Sun. Once I’d finished bending my brain around that combination, I got quite excited. We have a dying emperor, a famine and lost magic. Say no more.
About the book
Debut author Shen Tao introduces readers to the lush, deadly world of The Poet Empress, a sweeping, epic and intimate fantasy perfect for fans of The Serpent & the Wings of Night, The Song of Achilles and She Who Became the Sun.
In the waning years of the Azalea Dynasty, the emperor is dying, the land consumed by famine, and poetry magic lost to all except the powerful.
Wei Yin is desperate. After the fifth death of a sibling, with her family and village on the brink of starvation, she will do anything to save those she loves.
Even offer herself as concubine to the cruel heir of the beautiful and brutal Azalea House.
But in a twist of fate, the palace stands on the knife-edge of civil war with Wei trapped in its center…at the side of a violent prince.
To survive, Wei must harden her heart, rely on her wit, and become dangerous herself. Even if it means becoming a poet in a world where women are forbidden to read—and composing the most powerful spell of all. A ballad of death…and love.
The Poet Empress is an epic fantasy that explores darker themes, subjects, and scenes that may not be suitable for all readers. Please see the author’s content note at the beginning of the book.
Nine Goblins
T. Kingfisher
I’m super keen to get into Kingfisher’s books, and while I might not start with this one, I think it sounds hilarious. Also, how great is the cover!? The reason I might not start with this, is because it’s actually a novella (though, clocking in at 160 pp, that’s a hefty novella).
I think the thing that sold me on this, is the tagline of “low fantasy, high mischief”. It sounds like a funny, quirky story about a goblin war and a band of goblins who find themselves behind enemy lines, and their sergeant has to try and get her hapless band back to safety. Actually screw it, maybe this is the Kingfisher book I’ll start with after all.
About the book
From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a tale of low fantasy and high mischief.
No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.
But goblins don’t go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece.
Unfortunately, between them and safety lies a forest full of elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures…a human being.
How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days
Jessie Sylva
I’m not going to lie, this sounds hilarious. It’s about a halfling and a goblin who both inherit the same cottage. To sort out the mix-up, they decide that whoever is driven out first forfeits the cottage. And then, of course, this turns into an enemies-to-lovers, but in a cosy-fantasy style.
About the book
How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days is a comfort read fantasy romance between a halfling and a goblin: imagine a classic opposites-attract romcom taking place in those cosy scenes in the hobbits’ Shire from The Lord of the Rings. Expect magical forests, interfering wizards, lots of home cooking, and maybe even a kiss at the Harvest dance…
When a halfling, Pansy, and a goblin, Ren, each think they’ve inherited the same cottage, they make a bargain: they’ll live in the house together and whoever is driven out first forfeits their ownership. Amidst forced proximity and cultural misunderstandings, the two begin to fall in love.
But when the cottage – and their communities – are threatened by a common enemy, the duo must learn to trust each other, and convince goblins and halflings to band together to oust the tall intruder.
Perfect for fans of cosy fantasy novels including Legends and Lattes, The House in the Cerulean Sea and The Lord of the Rings.
The Wolf and the Crown of Blood
Elizabeth May
I could fall off my chair from excitement with this one. A new Elizabeth May, people! This is big news. I loved The Falconer and I’m so ready for more.
We’re talking a princess and a war-weary god who forge a pact. Ugh! Say no more! Except, do say more, because I need this badly and the end of January seems so far away.
About the book
A thrilling and incredibly sexy new dark romantasy series from Sunday Times bestselling author Elizabeth May.
A princess and a war-weary god met in the ashes of a broken city, forging a pact in blood and sacrifice.Now, centuries of fragile peace are on the brink of collapse…
Bryony Devaliant was born to die — again and again. In Vartena, royal blood is the currency of peace, with every monarch sacrificed and resurrected to appease the gods. But when rebellion stirs, the god-king sends his deadliest weapon to restore order: an immortal assassin known only as the Wolf.
Evander has perfected the art of killing over centuries — until his latest target becomes the one person he cannot destroy. When forbidden desire burns between the assassin and the sacrificial princess, their connection threatens the fragile boundary between gods and mortals. And when that boundary shatters, empires crumble. Because when gods fall in love with mortals, mortals are always the ones to break.
We Who Have No Gods
Liza Anderson
Bring on the witchy-vibes. In this world, it seems the odds are stacked against humans, who are living in a world of witches. This is described a dark academia with war-bent rivals and simmering chemistry – oooohh.
I’m a big fan of a down-on-her-luck protagonist who’s making her living on a waitressing job. Which is exactly where our character starts in this book. I’m so ready for her to be thrown into the witches’ world and for everything to descend into chaos.
About the book
In a world of witches, a human woman must hunt or be hunted in this explosive gothic dark academia fantasy filled with war-bent rivals, guarded secrets, and simmering chemistry.
Vic Wood knows her priorities: scrape by on her restaurant wages, take care of her younger brother Henry, and forget their mother ever existed. But Vic’s careful life crumbles when Henry reveals that their long-missing mother belonged to the Acheron Order—a secret society of witches tasked with keeping the dead at bay. What’s worse, Henry inherited their mother’s magical abilities while Vic did not, and Henry has been chosen as the Order’s newest recruit.
Determined to keep him safe, Vic accompanies Henry to the isolated woods in upstate New York that play host to the sprawling and eerie Avalon Castle. When she joins the academy despite lacking powers of her own, she risks not only the Order’s wrath, but also her brother’s. And then there is Xan, the head Sentinel—imposing, ruthless, and frustrating—in charge of protecting Avalon. He makes no secret that he wants Vic to leave.
As she makes both enemies and allies in this mysterious realm, Vic becomes caught between the dark forces at play, with her mother at the heart of it all. What’s stranger is that Vic begins to be affected by the academy—and Xan—in ways she can’t quite understand. But with war between witches threatening the fabric of reality, Vic must decide whether to risk her heart and life for a world where power is everything.
The Unwritten Rules of Magic
Harper Ross
This is more on the side of magical realism rather than fantasy, I believe, but the comparison to The Midnight Library has my ears pricking up.
The main character is a ghost writer who wishes she could create a better world for herself in the same way she can write one on paper. And the twist comes when she finds out her father’s old typewriter has the magical ability to do just that – but in slightly unexpected ways. I love this sort of magic and plot, so I’m quite excited to give this one a go.
About the book
For fans of The Midnight Library and In Five Years , The Unwritten Rules of Magic is a spellbinding novel that blends magic and memory in an unforgettable journey through love, grief, and the hidden cost of perfection across three generations of women.
Emerson Clarke can’t remember a time when she felt in control of her life. Her father—a celebrated author—blew in and out of her childhood like a hurricane until he got Alzheimer’s. Her mother numbed loneliness with gin. And recently, her teen daughter has shut her out without explanation. The only place Emerson has ever been in charge is in front of the keyboard where, as a ghostwriter, she dictates everything that happens on the page. If only she could arrange reality the same way, life could be perfect. An impossible fantasy—or so she believes until she makes a startling discovery.After her father’s wake, Emerson steals her father’s vintage typewriter—the very one he’d forbidden anyone to touch—and tests its keys by typing out a frivolous wish. After it comes true the very next day, she tries another. When those words also spring to life, she becomes obsessed with using the typewriter to engineer happiness for herself and her daughter. Easier said than done.
As Emerson shapes her real-life circumstances, she uncovers disturbing truths about her family’s history and the unexpected cost for each story-come-true. She should destroy the typewriter, but when her daughter’s secret finally emerges, Emerson is torn between paying the price for bending fate and embracing the uncertainty of an unscripted life.
Sci-Fi 🛸
If All the Stars Go Dark
S.G. Prince

Historical Fiction 📚
The Matchbox Girl
Alice Jolly
I’m loving this trend of style for historical fiction covers lately – they’re so fun! And this one is a WWII novel set in occupied Vienna. But not only that, the main story follows a girl who is taken into the care of Dr Asperger, to be observed with other children for their behaviour. This will be an interesting mix of hard-hitting military history and medical history.
About the book
From the multi-award-winning author – a beautiful, stunningly ambitious novel telling the story of a young girl’s battle for survival and search for the truth in occupied Vienna.
Adelheid Brunner does not speak. She writes and draws instead and her ambition is to own one thousand matchboxes. Her grandmother cannot make sense of this, but Adelheid will stop at nothing to achieve her dream. She makes herself invisible, hiding in cupboards with her pet rat, Franz Joseph, listening in on conversations she can’t fully comprehend.
Then she meets Dr Asperger, a man who lets children play all day and who recognises the importance of matchboxes. He invites Adelheid to come and live at the Vienna paediatric clinic, where she and other children like herself will live under observation.
But the date is 1938 and the place is Vienna – a city of political instability, a place of increasing fear and violence. When the Nazis march into the city, a new world is created and difficult choices must be made.
Why are the clinic’s children disappearing, and where do they go? Adelheid starts to suspect that some of Dr Asperger’s games are played for the highest stakes. In order to survive, she must play a game whose rules she cannot yet understand.
The Bookbinder’s Secret
A.D. Bell
I’m very excited about the word “bookbinder” and this cover is gorgeous! This follows a bookbinder who discovers a confession hidden beneath the binding of a book – involving forbidden love, lost fortune and murder. This does sound good, but I’d be curious to hold out until more reviews come in, in case it’s a bit same-same.
About the book
Every book tells a story. This one tells a secret.
A young bookbinder begins a hunt for the truth when a confession hidden beneath the binding of a burned book reveals a story of forbidden love, lost fortune, and murder.Lilian (“Lily”) Delaney, apprentice to a master bookbinder in Oxford in 1901, chafes at the confines of her life. She is trapped between the oppressiveness of her father’s failing bookshop and still being an apprentice in a man’s profession. But when she’s given a burned book during a visit to a collector, she finds, hidden beneath the binding, a fifty-year-old letter speaking of love, fortune, and murder.
Lily is pulled into the mystery of the young lovers, a story of forbidden love, and discovers there are more books and more hidden pages telling their story. Lilian becomes obsessed with the story but she is not the only one looking for the remaining books and what began as a diverting intrigue quickly becomes a very dangerous pursuit.
Lily’s search leads her from the eccentric booksellers of London to the private libraries of unscrupulous collectors and the dusty archives of society papers, deep into the heart of the mystery. But with sinister forces closing in, willing to do anything for the books, Lilian’s world begins to fall apart and she must decide if uncovering the truth is worth the risk to her own life.
Butterfly Games
Kelly Scarborough
Okay, they had me hear at “for fans of Philippa Gregory” – yes please, pick me!
This is a debut book and is a biographical historical novel about a Swedish countess. I’m so there for this on that alone. My expectations have immediately fallen somewhere between The Great TV show about Catherine the Great, and The Empress TV show about the Austrian royal family.
About the book
For fans of Philippa Gregory and Allison Pataki, a debut biographical historical novel about a young Swedish countess whose youthful love affair with the heir to her country’s throne has profound personal and political repercussions.
In some games, winning means losing everything that matters.
In the opulent world of the Swedish royal court, Jacquette Gyldenstolpe walks a dangerous tightrope between romance and political intrigue. Neglected by her parents and ostracized by the people around her, the young countess falls in love with Prince Oscar, heir to the Swedish throne—but their passionate affair has far-reaching consequences for the new Bernadotte dynasty, which is already challenged by threats from inside Sweden and beyond.
By the time Jacquette learns that the Butterfly Game is not for the faint-hearted, it is too late. For she has a secret—one as precious to her as it is potentially devastating to the crown—and she will stop at nothing to protect it.
Based on a true story and set in stormy early-1800s Europe, Butterfly Games is a sweeping historical tale of forbidden love, fierce duty, and the cost of ambition. From the lavish ballrooms of Stockholm to the elegant manor houses of the Swedish countryside, Jacquette’s story will transport readers to a world where every whisper could lead to triumph or ruin.
The Scent of Oranges
Kathy George
We’ve got an Oliver Twist retelling on our hands here, but this time, from the perspective of Nancy.
I’ve not read Oliver Twist, actually, only watched movie adaptations, but I’m nonetheless very intrigued about this one. I love retellings told from female perspectives, particularly when that POV didn’t necessarily hold that much weight in the original.
About the book
A retelling of one of literature’s great novels, Oliver Twist, from the point of view of Nancy, one of the most sympathetic, most maligned and most tragic of Dicken’s characters. For readers of The Good Wife of Bath by Karen Brooks.
Nancy has spent her whole life on the dark and gritty streets of Victorian London, first as one of Fagin’s child pickpockets and now on the arm of violent and mercurial Bill Sikes. Nancy does what she must to get by. She’s attuned to the harsh realities of life, but also knows how to find moments of beauty amid the grime.
When she embarks on a relationship with enigmatic gentleman Mr Rufus, it awakens emotions she’s never felt before, and makes a better life feel possible for the first time. But when she takes cherubic orphan Oliver Twist under her wing, something even more elusive and appealing seems to be within redemption.
This captivating tale of love, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil showcases the power of compassion in a world tainted by darkness.
Mysteries 🔍
Oxford Blood
Rachael Davis-Featherstone
