Upcoming Romantasy Releases

2026 might be the biggest year for romantasy since the genre blew up on BookTok. The headline: Sarah J. Maas is releasing ACOTAR Book 6 in October, with Book 7 following in January 2027. She's confirmed that books six through eight tell a connected story in four parts, so this isn't just another sequel. It's the start of a new arc that will dominate fantasy romance conversations for the next two years.

The spring lineup is stacked too. Sarah A. Parker's Moonfall drops in May as the sequel to When the Moon Hatched, which became a surprise hit in 2024. Elizabeth Helen's Beasts of the Briar continues in April. Nikki St. Crowe starts a new duology. And Rebecca Yarros has The Empyrean Book 4 coming in early 2027 for anyone still recovering from Onyx Storm.

We track every confirmed romantasy release date and update this calendar weekly as publishers announce new fantasy romance books. Whether you're looking for upcoming fae romance, enemies-to-lovers fantasy, or the next big BookTok read, bookmark this page to stay ahead of the TBR pile.
