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.
The Seventh Banisher caught my attention simply because it was comp’d to The Tainted Cup and The Raven Scholar – two books that I absolutely loved. Also, a Gothic fantasy mystery where a group of cousins are summoned to their ancestral home where they have to survive in order to inherit? Say less, it’s already on my TBR. The synopsis is ominous on so many (at least two) levels and I can’t wait to check this out. The Seventh Banisher will be released March 30, 2027.
From the author of The Unspoken Name comes a riveting Gothic fantasy mystery full of uncanny magic, long-guarded secrets, and a deadly trial to inherit a legendary power, perfect for fans of The Tainted Cup and The Raven Scholar.
The Mallory cousins have been summoned to their ancestral home by their great-aunt Sophia―or as the world knows her, the great Banisher, warden of the Isles and the singular defense against unspeakable otherworldly horrors.
Whoever can survive on the remote island for ten days and ten nights will inherit her house, her title, and her magic.
But the island is a labyrinth of deadly puzzles, terrifying ghosts, and scheming cousins with their own scores to settle. By the time the ten days are up, almost everyone on the island will be dead.
Almost everyone. Because someone else was there, witness to it all. And the story they tell is far darker than the blood coating the grounds of that cursed place.
