Blade of Two Faces Opens the Imperial Trials on November 17

Release date · The Imperial Trials

A heroine in disguise, and a date: November 17.

Cover of Blade of Two Faces by Blake Blessing

Blade of Two Faces is book one of The Imperial Trials.

Blade of Two Faces by Blake Blessing is book one of The Imperial Trials, and it comes out on November 17, 2026.

The heroine flees a corrupt kingdom while planning revenge on her brother, the king, and then enters the Trials in disguise. NetGalley lists a trade paperback with a silver foil cover and a full-colour interior illustration.

The date is the same on The Bookish Elf, NetGalley and New Books Alert. Page counts differ between listings, so I left the length out, and I found no reviews yet.

I haven’t read it. A second book, Eye of the Oracle, is listed for August 2027 at one retailer, so treat that as a plan and not a date.
