Hide and Seek by Erin Ampersand (February 2027)
The third book in Erin Ampersand’s unputdownable LitRPG series in which everyone on Earth is forced to take part in a worldwide survival competition — everyone, including Meghan Moretti and her three lovably chaotic kids.
Meghan has learned that protecting her kids also means making sure they’re ready to stand on their own when needed. That’s always been part of her parenting philosophy, but applying it to letting a six-year-old get up close and personal with vicious monsters? Questionable! Certainly not easy.
Meghan doesn’t have a choice. She’s got to be an expert apocalypse parent while also stabilizing her area, finding a way to handle with the mysterious new Titans, and dealing with the other nasty twists her alien tormentors have planned.
It’s more than she bargained for, but she’s not giving up!

Queen of Foxes by Jennifer Estep (March 2027)
IT’S TIME TO STEAL IT ALL BACK.
Rinley Renard isn’t just a master thief — she’s also the sole survivor of a political coup that nearly destroyed Feronia. When the opportunity to steal a priceless sword brings Rinley back to the scene of the massacre, it’s a chance to exact her revenge — even if it means masquerading as a guard in the enemy stronghold, where she’s still a hunted fugitive.
Prince Zoren Dreiko may be the empire’s most powerful Dread Knight, but he has his own reasons for quelling the latest Feronian rebellion. Capturing the masked outlaw stirring unrest might finally free Zoren of his father’s traitorous legacy, and keep the vicious empress he serves from taking his head.
Trapped in a brutal cat-and-mouse game, Rinley and Zoren’s forbidden attraction blurs the line between duty and desire. When victory for one will doom the other, both are faced with an impossible choice between love and loyalty.
Experience Sherwood Forest like never before in this sizzling Robin Hood-inspired romantasy from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep.
