Four Fantasy Books Land on November 3

November 3 is a busy release day, and these four are the ones I am watching.

Four fantasy books come out on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in the US: Defy the Dusk by Danielle L. Jensen, The Last King of Faerie by Cassandra Clare, Captive Traitor King by Brigid Kemmerer and Sharpest Court by Kiera Azar.

Defy the Dusk is a Del Rey hardcover and book one of The Sundering Duet. The Last King of Faerie opens the closing Shadowhunters trilogy, The Wicked Powers, and is listed with Knopf Books for Young Readers. Captive Traitor King is the second Braided Fate book from Avon. Sharpest Court is Thorn Season book two.

These are US dates. Some UK and Australian listings show other dates for some of the four, so check the edition you are ordering. I have not read any of them, and at least one sits on a young-adult imprint, so I am calling the group fantasy and not dark romance.

If you are only buying one, tell me which.
