Can’t Wait Wednesday: Princess of Blood by Sarah Hawley

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to share upcoming book releases that we’re excited about! This meme is based on Waiting on Wednesday, which was created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Servant of Earth, the first book in the Shards of Magic series ended up being my final 5 star read of 2024, though unfortunately it just missed making it on my Best Books of 2024 list because I had already posted it! Needless to say, I am extremely excited to get my hands on Princess of Blood, which has a cover bloody red enough to match the title. The first book was quite the blend of politics and romance and I think the sequel will really step things up to the next level. I can’t wait to get my hands on this when it’s released September 30, 2025.


Once a servant, now a princess, a young woman thrust into power challenges everything about the underground Fae realm in the next installment of Sarah Hawley’s new romantasy series.

Kenna Heron is still reeling from her lover’s betrayal and the threat of an impending war. With only her two closest–and most powerless–friends by her side, she must navigate the treacherous politics of Mistei while coming to terms with her new identity as not just Fae, but princess of her own house.

With the king dead, three candidates are vying for the right to wear the crown next. A princess who claims the throne as her birthright and two rebel princes, both of whom are depending on the support of Blood House to break the stalemate between them. Old loyalties fray as new, dangerous alliances form, and Kenna finds herself caught in a web of violence, deceit, and unexpected passion.

Kenna has the power to shape Mistei’s future… but someone’s willing to kill to make sure she never gets the chance.
