It’s been fun covering Gate of Myth and Power, and again I am so grateful for all the support and love you Champions have shown Chloe and her new kingdom, but as we officially wind down the Magiford themed content, it’s time to address what everyone is wondering: What’s coming next in Magiford??
The next trilogy (which will launch December 2023) is about a character we’ve already met, Jade! She is a vampire slayer who was hired during the events of Queen’s Crown (that’s the third book of Leila’s series, Court of Midnight and Deception) to join the Curia Cloister’s task force.
Jade’s series takes place at the same year as Pip’s series, Pack of Dawn and Destiny, so we’ll be traveling back in time. (This also, notably, means her series takes place before Pat joins the task force.)
While we have not directly met Jade’s love interest, he has a history with some of the characters you know and love, and he also happens to be a vampire. (Yeeeeees, a vampire slayer and a vampire, the FUN we’re going to have, Champions! Buwahah!)
Due to the events that happen during this unnamed series, you’ll get to see Hazel and Killian, and more of the Drake vampires and Medeis wizards! So for those of you who were excited to see Josh in King’s Queen, the fun has only just started!
The last notable thing about Jade’s story is that it has nothing to do with the Paragon’s quest to find the missing elf princess. Jade’s series is a spin off series, and is more focused on Magiford as a city, but you’ll still see some of the major themes I’ve placed in all my Magiford books, and it’s going to have the same happy ending with humor and action guaranteed!
Quite a few of you picked up on Shiloh’s importance, and yes, she will be getting her own trilogy–which will finish out the Paragon’s Quest. At this time we don’t have any planned year for when Shiloh’s series will launch.
So that’s it for Magiford–for now, anyway! Thank you again, Champions, for your enthusiasm for Chloe’s series. I knew it was a bit of an odd premise for a story, so thank you for trusting me and giving this oddball Hades and Persephone a try.
Until next time, thanks for reading!
I love this series! And I am not ready for it to end! While the Paragon’s Quest may end, I would love some books showing Leila’s trips to the other courts, some more about her court too. Her journey to Fae empress would be amazing!
I have most of your series and love every one of them no matter what style you use! I haven’t started the Reatha set yet, but plan to in the future. I miss not having more to read on the Elves of Lessa , it was the first series I read of yours, and I’ve always wanted to read more of them.
I agree with several of the other people, commenting that you need to take care of your health first, so try not to let our enthusiasm and waiting for your next book pressure you into doing too much!
I love your riding, and I have shared with many of my family and friends about your book series and at least two of my friends have started reading your books. Love what you do for us. Thank you.
I can’t wait to jump back into Magiford! December is so far away but I know the wait will be worth it!
This series & Hazel/Killian series are my favourite.
Looking forward to the next & Shiloh’s too, whenever that happens to complete the Paragon’s quest. Will we get to see more of the Paragon’s background – very curious who’s under the glamour!
I know Angelique has been hanging, but it was a really great pause and not hanging by a thread. I’m so in love that the next big book out is Retha! Yippee! I love Magiford, I do. But I think my favorites were Hazel and Leila. I still chortle with glee over some of the scenes and I’m currently rereading again! Sorry, but Chloe was not my fave (and I can’t even pinpoint a reason!). Thank you so much, Kitty! I came due to Entwined Tales I think, but I’ve stayed and I love the books!
I LOVED Gate of Myth and Power series!! AHHH super excited for this new one as well, looking forward to it!! <3
I know that Kitty is struggling with some heavy physical issues, and I would never want her to overreach; it just feels like the Angelique and Evariste story isn’t ever going to come out. I’m not that into the Magiford stories; I read one of the series that I found I could get into, but the others never grabbed me like her fairy tales and the Angelique and Evariste stories did. Just wondering if it’s on the table.
It absolutely is! There isn’t a date attached to it, since projecting more than a year out it’s too hard to be accurate (life happens so much!), but Kitty has promised that it IS getting written. Magiford comes out more often because it sells the best, and authors have to keep the lights on and feed their Perfect Dog ;-). This coming year we have Magiford and Retha (the A.M. Sohma penname world) is getting written now, though it will be out a little later than originally planned due to those health issues. But do not fear, more Angelique and Evariste will be written! (I’m a mod in the Champion Facebook group and we get this question a lot)
Will we ever get the ending to Angelique’s Story?
She’s working hard to complete the major series she has going. If you go to the coming soon section of the blog you’ll see what is still being worked on. It will probably be multiple years before she gets to the last two books in the Enchantress Series. I would guess at least 2028 for the last Angelique book + or – a couple years.
In the meantime that section is great for finding her completed series. Consider working through Kitty’s completed library. While I agree that Angelique is wonderful and unique, Kitty is a wonderful writer and I have loved all her worlds. Have you read all the fairy tales? It’s fun to see Angelique’s cameos from the other side and she’s a main character in Snow White. I’m working on a second (or third) read of King Arthur and Her Knights.
Lastly, she has a cross over series with other authors called Entwined Tales. I really enjoyed it and have used it to find other authors. I recommend downloading lots of samples both from Kitty’s works and those other authors. Samples are a great free way to find which books you’ll enjoy.
As someone else with chronic health issues I’m honestly shocked she has been able to do as much as she has with how bad her health had been. One really fun symptom is the more you push yourself the more you pay for it. An extra 15 minutes of work after you feel worn out might mean three days of literally not being able to lift your head off the bed.
Absolutely! I read the entwined tales a couple of months ago, and despite having the same cast of characters, they were all written with different styles. If you’re looking for some new books from Clean Romance authors to read whilst waiting for Kitty’s next release, you could check out those authors’ books!
I also have chronic health problems, Dercum’s disease. I also love Kitty’s writing, and have read almost everything: except Retha, waiting on the last book so I’ll be able to binge the series. I first read her because of the Entwined tales: I had just picked up the first few Melanie Cellier Princess books after a BookBub ad, and decided to try the Entwined Tales. As soon as the horse character compared the stable ponies with mushrooms, I knew I needed to read more from this author.
So excited for a new series (December suddenly feels soooooo long away!), and what you have planned Kitty. Despite Gate of Myth and Power being different to your other Magiford books, I still absolutely loved it! So don’t worry Kitty, whatever writing style you use for this new mysterious series, it’s bound to be amazing!
Love the Magiford series but could you please, please, please finish Angelique and Evariste’s story? You’ve left it hanging too long.
Yes, please!
Yes!! Please! I want to see Angelique and Evariste kiss!
yes!!!! I’m waiting for that!!!! cant wait
only have the first two books though :/
Yeah I agree, but I also think that we shouldn’t push kitty to hard on it. She said in multiple posts and sheacon back 2020 that those books were bears to write, and that would not be ideal for her health at this time. There are a few fanfics out there that satisfy the need in the meantime, if you just search “km shea fanfiction” trust me they’re great! I also wanted to say thank you kitty, your books are what helped get through every difficult thing thrown my way from 2020 to present. Your books are a miracle, don’t ever let anyone sell your absolute talent short.
I totally agree. Evariste and Angelique are my favorite, but I understand those books are harder to write. I can’t help it that I’m a little impatient for another book about them though. 🙁
I really want jade’s love interest to be Josh because I love him so much but he’s been directly introduced 🙁
