Kingdom of Tomorrow
The Book of Arden Series
(Montlake, September 1,2025)
Welcome to a realm ruled by fear and secrets, where sleeping gods are rumored to wake. From New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter comes the explosive start to The Book of Arden series: Kingdom of Tomorrow (Montlake; September 1, 2025).
Gena talks to Authorlink’s Doris Booth about the start of a new series. The breathtaking romantasy is set in a fractured world where the truth is a lie, desire is a weapon and forbidden books may be the only way out.
Gena shares how she turned out an amazing seventy-plus books by her fiftieth birthday and discusses how she handles editing, rejection and more.
In Kingdom of Tomorrow, 20-year-old Arden Roosa is forced to join Fort Bala Royal Academy. Her orders are clear: train, obey, survive. But between battling inner demons, panic attacks and facing off against the ruling regime known as CURED, Arden is assigned a combat partner she never saw coming. The brutal, magnetic High Prince Cyrus Dolion.
As the sparks between them ignite, so do Arden’s questions about the world she inhabits. Then comes an invitation to join the outlawed Tome Society, guardians of a mythical, invisible library said to hold books that foretell the future. Everything Arden thought she knew begins to unravel. Is it an otherworldly disease turning ordinary citizens into gleeful killers… or the cure?
Through lush worldbuilding, heart-pounding twists, and a slow-burn romance sure to leave you breathless, Kingdom of Tomorrow explores what it means to resist, to question, and to love in a world built on lies. Fans of Fourth Wing, The Hunger Games, and These Violent Delights will fall hard for this fierce heroine, her morally gray prince, and the revolution hiding in the pages of forgotten books.
This series is poised to capture the hearts of romantasy readers and spark conversation across social media and beyond. I look forward to discussing plans for coverage with you soon.
