A Great and Powerful Tyranny
Victoria Carbol Publisher: Page Street Publishing / Page Street YA Pub Date: June 23, 2026 Genre: YA Romance Synopsis: Perfect for fans of Holly Black's 'The Cruel Prince,' this dark, queer reimagining of the classic 'Wizard of Oz' tale centers a slow-burn, sapphic enemies to lovers romance in an electrifying portal fantasy. Falling into a world of magic and oppression, Kansas-born Thia joins three cursed companions in a quest to free them and send herself home. Orphaned from a young age, Thia has spent her life trying to live up to her mother’s legacy as a doctor. She’s on track to become a promising medical student, yet she feels like she was meant for something else. The life she thought she knew comes crashing down one stormy Kansas day when Thia inadvertently uncovers clues that reveal her grandma has been lying to her: Her mother was never a doctor; she was a scholar of the supernatural, and all she left behind was a strange mirror that Thia’s grandma is convinced is dangerous. Angry with her grandma for her deception, Thia leaves in a rage and accidentally falls through the mirror, killing a witch and crashing into a terrifying land ruled by the cruel and powerful Mage King. Joined by a heartless girl, a cowardly academic, and a boy who cannot remember his past, Thia seeks out the Mage King, the only man powerful enough to send her home and grant her companions’ desires. In their quest, Thia discovers her mother was a part of the rebellion to overthrow the Mage King, and she must reckon with her mother’s real legacy. With each new truth revealed, it becomes harder to ignore the undeniable connection between Thia and the cursed, heartless girl, and even harder to decide where, in the end, Thia ultimately belongs.

Kissed by the Gods
The Eternal Wars #1 Caty Rogan Publisher: Requited / Hachette Book Group Pub Date: Sept. 25, 2025 Genre: Adult Romantasy Synopsis: Leina has spent a lifetime submitting. Kneeling. Enduring. Then soldiers come for her brother, and divine fury surges through her veins. She expects execution for the bodies she left in her wake. Her people have met bloody ends for far, far less. Instead, Ryot, a godsworn warrior born to privilege and raised in order, drags her into a world that was never meant for her. One of divine armies and death demons, winged war horses and monsters, sacred power and royal secrets. A kiss from a goddess changes everything. No longer a criminal, Leina is a prize. The kingdom’s most powerful men want what the goddess touched. Leina wants only one thing, though: freedom for her people. And she’ll trade herself for the strength to destroy the kingdom that broke them. Conscripted into a war she never asked for, fighting for gods she doesn’t believe in, Leina must decide how far she’s willing to go and what she’s willing to lose. Because her power is more than a threat to the kingdom’s buried secrets. It’s a death sentence.

About the Author:
At the seasoned age of five, Caty Rogan wrote her first story—armed with crayons, dramatic flair, and an unshakable belief that the Power Rangers were actually the bad guys. Shockingly, no publishers came calling. So, she traded crayons for deadlines, earned a journalism degree, and started chasing stories across the globe. Somewhere along the way, she collected a few investigative journalism awards and a deeply unhealthy reliance on coffee. These days, Caty writes the kind of spicy romance novels she used to inhale on long-haul flights. She lives for a badass heroine, swoons for a he-falls-first kind of hero, and survives almost entirely on caffeine, cheesy popcorn, and chocolate. When she’s not neck-deep in fictional drama, she’s wrangling her two boss-girl daughters with the help of her husband—her very own he-falls-first hero—in the Arizona desert. |
