Revealing Q3 2026 Titles & Important Dates

Hi Grim Oakers,

We have been busy shipping out 10,000 copies of A Parade of Horribles by Matt Dinniman, and we ran out of time to produce a proper Facebook Live reveal for our Q3 titles. You don't want to see me on your screen anyway, right?

But it is time to reveal what we have planned for Q3! So here we go. I'm super excited about this line-up.

These will go live for pre-order at 2PM ET / 11AM PT on their respective dates:

• July 22, 2026: Black Sun Rising by C. S. Friedman with art by Jeszika Le Vye, open to everyone
• August 5, 2026: Grimoire: Dragonsteel Nexus 2026 edited by Shawn Speakman with cover art by Julia Maddalina, open to everyone
• August 19, 2026: Somewhere Beyond the Sea by T. J. Klune with art by David Curtis, open to owners of The House in the Cerulean Sea
• September 9, 2026: Winternight (omnibus) by Katherine Arden with art by Hayden Goodman, open to everyone
• September 23, 2026: A Knight of the Word by Terry Brooks with art by Lixin Yin, open to owners of Running with the Demon

Black Sun Rising is one of my favorite books that I read alongside those by Tad Williams and Melanie Rawn. The Grimoire is going to be great; it already has a powerful line-up of contributors. If you haven't read T. J. Klune, I highly recommend his books. The Bear and the Nightingale and its Winternight sequels are three of the best books I've read in the last ten years, and we will be combining them into a beautiful omnibus. And of course, Terry Brooks's Word/Void is a masterpiece of storytelling.

We will be sharing covers and artwork individually for these titles soon. Can't wait. The artists are turning in incredible work.

As always, thank you for your enthusiasm and ardent support. We could not do this without you!

With Magic,

Shawn Speakman
