Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently added to my TBR pile. I’m still going to be linking up with Wishful Endings/Can’t Wait Wednesday, and I also want to give a shout out to Jill at Breaking the Spine for starting the original Waiting on Wednesday meme. I hope you’ll find some new books to add to your TBR piles, and as always, I look forward to hearing what YOU’RE looking forward to:-D
For fantasy lovers only! Today I’m (finally) stepping away from horror and I have three fantasy cover reveals to share, take a look:
The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong. Releases in November 2024 from Ace Books. Yes, the story sounds adorably cozy, but it’s the cover that made me immediately add this to my TBR. Isn’t this cover the best? Julie is a debut author and I can’t wait to get my hands on this!
New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Carissa Broadbent returns with a brand new novel in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, Songbird and the Heart of Stone, where A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Dante’s Inferno, in an epic fantasy romance of love and treachery between mortals and gods.
Mische lost everything when she was forcibly Turned into a vampire—her home, her humanity, and most devastating of all, the love of the sun god to whom she had devoted her life. Now, sentenced to death for murdering the vampire prince who turned her, redemption feels impossible.
But when Mische is saved by Asar, the bastard prince of the House of Shadow with a past as brutal as his scars, she’s forced into a mission worse than execution: a journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself.
Yet, Mische’s punishment may be the key to her salvation. In a secret meeting, her sun god commands her to help Asar in his mission, only to betray him… by killing the god of death.
Mische and Asar must travel the treacherous path to the underworld, facing trials, beasts, and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. Yet, most dangerous of all is the alluring call of the darkness—and her forbidden attraction to Asar, a burgeoning bond that risks invoking the wrath of gods.
As her betrayal looms, the underworld closes in, and angry gods are growing restless. Mische will be forced to choose between the redemption of the sun or the damnation of the darkness.
The Songbird & the Heart of Stone (Crowns of Nyaxia #3) by Carissa Broadbent. Releases in November 2024 from Bramble Romance. Next month I’ll be reading book #2 in this series, The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King, so I was very excited to see the cover for the next book revealed this past week. I absolutely loved the first book and can’t wait to read more:-)
From the author of The Magician’s Daughter comes The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door, a mythic, magical tale full of secret scholarship, faerie curses, and the deadliest spells of all—the ones that friends cast on each other.
All they needed to break the world was a door, and someone to open it.
1921. Years after a rogue faerie broke free on the battlefields of WWI, killing hundreds and threatening to expose the magical world, the study of faerie magic is forbidden and the doors to faerie country are sealed. But for those who survived, their wounds cannot be fixed by bandages and bedrest. A magical curse requires a magical solution.
Clover is determined to find a way to save her brother, Matthew—one of the few survivors of the faerie attack. At Camford, England’s premier magical academy, she’s nobody, just a scholarship witch with no lineage and no connections. But when she catches the eye of golden boy Alden Lennox-Fontaine and his friends, doors that had been previously closed to her are flung open, and she finds herself enmeshed in the glittering and seductive world of the country’s magical aristocrats.
The summer she spends in Alden’s orbit leaves a fateful mark: months of joyous friendship and mutual study come crashing down when experiments go awry, and old secrets are unearthed. Years later, when the faerie seals break again, Clover knows it’s because of what they did. And she knows that she must seek the help of people she once called friends—and now doesn’t quite know what to call—if there’s any hope of saving the world as they know it.
The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door by H.G. Parry. Releases in October 2024 from Redhook. I’m drawn to anything that involves fae, and I think has sounds fantastic! I have yet to read anything by Parry, but I’ve heard really good things about her books.
The Teller of Small Fortunes has an adorable cover, and I love the sound of the H. G. Parry, it reminds me of Emily Wilde and I really enjoyed that. Great picks 😀
Yes! The H.G. Parry book definitely has Emily Wilde vibes:-)
I actually added Teller Of Small Fortunes to my tbr last week but I haven’t seen the cover before and I love it. The colours work together so well and it really gives you those cosy fantasy vibes.
I hope you continue to enjoy the Crowns Of Nyaxia books. I really need to pick them up one day.
Snap on the intrigue with all things fae. I added the last one to my TBR for the title alone but the premise sounds incredible. I’ll definitely be checking it out.
I feel like it’s been a while since I read a good fae book, so the H.G. Parry book is one I’ll definitely check out.
I was debating between all three of these for my post this week! I am so excited to check all of them out

I’m glad we were on the same wave length this week:-)
I love the sound of The Teller of Small Fortunes! I’ve put it on my wishlist and will be looking out for it – thank you for sharing, Tammy:)).
And the UK cover is beautiful too! Very different from the US cover but just as lovely.
The Teller of Small Fortunes sounds amazing. Thanks for introducing me!
I can’t wait to read it:-)
Woohoo fantasy!! All of these sound awesome. I particularly love the cover for THE TELLER OF SMALL FORTUNES. Throw a cat on it and I’m likely to take a second look haha.
I know, that cover is beautiful, plus cute cat, how can you resist?
The Teller of Small Fortunes has such a pretty cover. Absolutely adding it to the wishlist. I still need to read book #1 of the Nyaxia series but I did grab it after seeing you enjoyed it so much. Great choices this week!
Thanks Barb! I hope you get to read the first Carissa Broadbent book, it really was good.
Well as a fantasy lover I’ll take all three this week thank you madame!
There are some amazing sounding fantasy books coming out:-)
Thanks for sharing these. I’m going to try to read The Teller of Small Fortunes.

Me too, it’s hard to resist that cover.
Ahhhh how beautiful is the cover of The Teller of Small Fortunes??! And it also sounds really great 😀
I’ve seen The Songbird & the Heart of Stone around today on other blogs and I just hope I can read the first book soon. I really want to but I’m also worried I won’t enjoy it as much as everyone else. Bookworm problems 😛
The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door is a totally new title to me but I really really love the synopsis. I think I will either totally devour it or not like it at all. No in between. But I can’t wait to find out!
Stephanie @ Bookfever recently posted…Can’t-Wait Wednesday: The Once & Future Witch Hunt by Alice Markham-Cantor
I think you will really enjoy the Carissa Broadbent series. I hope you try it!
The cover for The Teller of Small Fortunes also made me immediately want to read it! I’m so excited for a new H.G. Parry book as well!
I can’t wait to try H.G. Parry, finally!
The Teller of Small Fortunes’ cover is the most beautiful thing! And the book sounds mighty interesting too!! Thanks for sharing!
The UK cover of The Teller of Small Fortunes is beautiful too:-)
These all sound so good. You’re going to break my tbr!
Lynn 😀
Ha ha that’s my job:-)
The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door is getting a lot of attention. Still haven’t read the author but I may have to jump on board with this one!
Same here! I think I have an unread Parry book (oops) but this sounds really good.
All three of these are new to me and they all sound like they will be amazing. I love the sound of The Teller of Small Fortunes and The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door especially. I hope you enjoy all of these when you read them, Tammy!

Thanks Wendy, I hope you get the chance to read some of these:-)
Wow these are all new to me! I think Teller of Small Fortunes sounds VERY cute, it reminds me of something else but I can’t quite put my finger on what. Thanks for putting these on my radar!
Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight recently posted…Conageddon 4: We’re Back, Bitches!
It does sound cute, right? The cover is certainly cute:-)
These covers are all so stunning! I have the first book in that Carissa Broadbent series and really need to get on it. I’ve seen so many wonderful reviews for it.
I hope you love it too! I can’t wait to read the second book.
That is a nice cover for The Teller of Small Fortunes, and I’m finding lately that I’m enjoying that sort of tale.
“The Teller of Small Fortunes” what the heck that’s such a cute title! I do want to dive into that location on cover… The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door also sounds intriguing – a take on fae that I will have to keep an eye out for.
