Saga is thrilled to announce a charming cozy fantasy by (known in children’s books as Remy Lai), AN ANCIENT WITCH’S GUIDE TO MODERN DATING!
 
Thorn Scarhart, a 17th-century witch, is 39 years old and very single. She’s had little success via the local matchmaker, even with the help of some very strong love potions.
 
When one of her brews goes terribly awry, Thorn finds herself transported into the present day, where her remote cottage has become a historical museum in a bustling city.
 
Despite its challenges, there turn out to be some advantages to modernity: plumbing! Electricity! And a world where dating at 39 might not be *great*, but at least it’s not *impossible*.
 
A delightful cozy fantasy romcom for fans of Travis Baldree & TJ Klune, AN ANCIENT WITCH’S GUIDE TO MODERN DATING is coming to shelves in summer 2025!

Lys, potentate of the Dawn Cloister and sworn servant of the Goddess Tempestra-Innara, dreams of deicide.

With the power contained in the blood of the gods Tempestra-Innara once murdered, Lys now knows she finally has a chance at freedom.
 
In a stroke of luck, Lys is chosen by the Goddess to track down the reliquary that holds the blood, but she’s partnered with Nolan, a devout potentate of the Dusk Cloister who is watching her every move. As the pair track a network of cannibal heretics responsible for the assassination attempt, Lys discovers that the Devoted Lands are filled with more dangers—and perhaps even more gods—than she bargained for.

Summary: Inspired by Chinese myths of ancient dragon gods and threads of fate, Katrina Kwan’s dazzling fantasy debut is an adventure perfect for fans of Sue Lynn Tan and Hannah Whitten.

At the spry young age of twenty-five, Sai has led a quiet life, keeping the family teahouse up and running—even if that means ignoring the past-due notices—and taking care of his ailing mother. But he has a not-so-secret gift that he’s parlayed into a side career: he was born with the ability to see the red threads of fate between soulmates, which lends itself nicely to matchmaking. Sai has thus far been content not to follow his own thread, the only one he’s ever seen that’s gray and fraying.

But Sai’s ordinary existence is about to be turned upside-down by a pair of shining dragon scales. When his mother’s doctor sells them to him, claiming them as a miracle cure, Sai is pretty sure he’s being scammed. When the medicine actually works—and the terrifying, ruthless emperor catches wind—Sai is thrust into the search for a dragon long thought extinct that will lead him into the throes of a brewing war and deep into foreign lands, facing down challenges both magical and mortal on an unexpected adventure. And for the very first time, as his own thread of fate begins to move, he may be able to solve the mystery of his Fated One on the other end of the line.

Summary: Perfect for fans of Raven Kennedy and Thea Guanzon, Rebecca Robinson’s thrilling romantasy debut combines high-stakes political intrigue and a steamy, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance.

All her life, Vaasa Kozár has been sharpened into a blade.

After losing her mother—her only remaining parent—to a mysterious dark magic that has since awakened within her, Vaasa is certain death looms. So is her merciless brother, who aims to eliminate Vaasa as a threat to his crown. In one last political scheme, he marries her off to Reid of Mireh, a ruthless foreign ruler, in hopes that he can use her death as a rallying cry to finally invade Reid’s nation. All Vaasa has to do is die.

But she is desperate to live. Vaasa enters her new marriage with every intent to escape it, wielding the hard-won political prowess and combat abilities her late father instilled in her. But to her surprise, Reid offers her a deal: help him win the votes to rise in power, and she can walk free. In exchange, he will share his knowledge about the dark magic running through her veins—and help keep it at bay.

This proposal may be too good to refuse, yet Vaasa and Reid’s undeniable attraction threatens to break the rules of their arrangement. As her brother’s lethal machinations take form, everything is at stake: Vaasa must learn to trust her new husband, but how can she, especially when their perfect political marriage begins to feel like the real thing?
