10 The Gods Below By Andrea Stewart
Release Date: September 3, 2024
Andrea Stewart is known for writing The Drowning Empire series, and the author is kicking off a new fantasy series in September. The Gods Below is the first book in Stewart’s Hollow Covenant trilogy, and it takes place in “a world ravaged by ancient magic.” In Stewart’s latest novel, certain people are granted magical abilities by gemstones. Readers will follow Hakara, who sets out on a quest to find her sister. She’s willing to take on the gods if she needs to — and it seems like such pushback against these deities isn’t all that uncommon in The Gods Below.
Only time will tell if
The Hollow Covenant
blows up as much as
The Drowning Empire,
but its brief synopsis sounds promising.
Stewart’s latest sounds every bit as intriguing and tense as The Drowning Empire, and it’ll be fun to step into a new world penned by the author. It’s sure to be one of the biggest fantasy books coming out in September 2024, especially with Stewart’s previous success. Only time will tell if The Hollow Covenant blows up as much as The Drowning Empire, but its brief synopsis sounds promising.
9 Somewhere Beyond The Sea By T.J. Klune
Release Date: September 10, 2024
The House in the Cerulean Sea was one of the biggest fantasy books of 2020, and T.J. Klune is publishing a sequel in September 2024. Somewhere Beyond the Sea promises to be as charming as its predecessor, and it may up the stakes for Arthur, Linus, and the magical kids they’ve sworn to protect. On the heels of Linus joining Arthur and the kids on Marsyas Island, Arthur is called to make a “public statement” about his own backstory — one that could put everyone he loves in jeopardy.
To make matters worse, he and Linus must also contend with a new child joining their orphanage. Unlike the other kids, this one leans into being a “monster ,” something they’ve tried to discourage. Fortunately, if anyone can bring him around, Arthur and Linus can. Somewhere Beyond the Sea promises to be heartfelt and fun, just like the rest of Klune’s stories. Its 4.38 average Goodreads rating is almost on equal footing with The House in the Cerulean Sea‘s 4.40 score, suggesting it lives up to the previous book.

8 Vilest Things By Chloe Gong
Release Date: September 10, 2024
Chloe Gong is continuing the Flesh and False Gods series in September 2024, which will mark the debut of the second installment. Vilest Things is already getting hype ahead of its release, so there’s little doubt it will be one of the biggest fantasy books to come out this month. The sequel picks up after the games in Immortal Longings, and it will deal with the aftermath of the throne switching hands — and the fact that Anton Makusa is now posing as August Shenzhi.
Tensions will only get higher as Anton pretends to be the king, all while his kingdom threatens to tear itself apart. Even his problems with Calla must be put aside for the good of the kingdom. Vilest Things sounds poised to introduce higher stakes and more political intrigue to Gong’s series, setting the stage for an intense finale. Vilest Things’ 4.28 average Goodreads rating is a jump up from the first book’s 3.53, suggesting this trilogy won’t suffer from second-book syndrome in the slightest.

7 Lucy Undying By Kiersten White
Release Date: September 10, 2024
Kiersten White has written fantasy and horror novels, and the author’s September 2024 book will mesh both genres. Inspired by Dracula, Lucy Undying will tell the story of one of the iconic vampire’s first victims: Lucy Westenra. In Bram Stoker’s novel, Lucy perishes at the hands of Dracula — but White has other ideas. Lucy Undying sees the titular heroine becoming a vampire herself, then going on the run from Dracula. She winds up finding love in the arms of a woman named Iris, whose family has dark secrets as well.
After White’s gripping reimagining of Vlad the Impaler in
The Conqueror’s Saga,
there’s little doubt the author will do Lucy’s narrative justice.
The two must grapple with their pasts if they want to be together, and for Lucy, this means facing Dracula. That’s an exciting prospect, and it places more agency on a character often overlooked by the vampire’s story. After White’s gripping reimagining of Vlad the Impaler in The Conqueror’s Saga, there’s little doubt the author will do Lucy’s narrative justice. This gothic fantasy will be an exciting release this September, especially given its proximity to Halloween.
6 An Academy For Liars By Alexis Henderson
Release Date: September 17, 2024
Known for hits like The Year of the Witching and House of Hunger, Alexis Henderson is releasing a new dark academia novel in September 2024. Dubbed An Academy for Liars, the book follows Lennon Carter as she enrolls in Drayton College. The school is for students like Lennon, all of whom are able to magically impose their wills on others — and sometimes, even the world around them. As Lennon learns to control her ability and grows closer to her advisor, she uncovers other secrets about the school. Some are incredibly unsettling.
Mysteries and secrets are par for the course with dark academia books, and it sounds like An Academy of Liars will have an abundance of them in store for its heroine. Henderson knows how to weave a dark and eerie narrative, so there’s little doubt the author will excel when it comes to this setup. An Academy for Liars’ 4.01 Goodreads rating reflects well on the upcoming novel, which certainly has a place among the most exciting fantasy releases slated for September.
5 Bringer Of Dust By J.M. Miro
Release Date: September 17, 2024
J.M. Miro’s Ordinary Monsters was an underrated fantasy book when it came out in 2022, but its sequel promises to draw more attention to The Talents Trilogy. With its impressive 4.18 Goodreads rating, Bringer of Dust is already one of the most exciting fantasy releases of September 2024. And its 608 pages promise that it will be one of the biggest fantasy books hitting shelves, physically, as well. Picking up in Sicily in 1883, Bringer of Dust will pit Charlie and the Talents against terrifying new threats — all while Cairndale is destroyed and Marlowe is missing.
It’s hard to imagine the impressive scope of Ordinary Monsters growing larger, but it seems like Bringer of Dust will succeed in expanding this series’ dark and intriguing world. With the synopsis teasing so many story threads, Bringer of Dust is poised to set up a grand finale for The Talents Trilogy. There’s not much more we could ask for after such a strong start in Ordinary Monsters.

4 Buried Deep And Other Stories By Naomi Novik
Release Date: September 17, 2024
After hits like Uprooted and The Scholomance, Naomi Novik is a must-read fantasy author — and she’s releasing a new short story collection in September. Titled Buried Deep and Other Stories, Novik’s latest will feature 13 exciting narratives. Some will even take readers back to Novik’s established worlds. The book’s synopsis teases a return to the “magic halls of the Scholomance trilogy,” as well as to the worlds of Uprooted and Spinning Silver. If that’s not enough to get Novik fans on board, Buried Deep and Other Stories will also offer a glimpse of her next novel’s setting.
Needless to say, fantasy lovers won’t want to miss out on this collection in September. It promises to traverse a range of time periods and settings, and it even boasts unexpected cameos from figures like Sherlock Holmes and Elizabeth Bennet. What binds all these stories together is a focus on going after one’s destiny. That’s enough to sell Novik’s latest, which offers a nice way to break up the lengthier fantasy novels hitting shelves this fall.
3 A Dark And Drowning Tide By Allison Saft
Release Date: September 17, 2024
Those looking to cuddle up with a new romantasy book this September should keep an eye out for A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft. After A Far Wilder Magic and A Fragile Enchantment, Saft’s name is becoming more and more recognizable in fantasy spaces. The author’s 2024 release is likely to cement her reputation further, especially with its murder mystery and sapphic romance. A Dark and Drowning Tide begins when folklorist Lorelei Kaskel sets out with six nobles to track down a magical spring. Things take a turn when Lorelei’s mentor is killed, leaving her suspicious of everyone else.
For fans of adventure stories,
A Dark and Drowning Tide
is the perfect pick-up this September.
Lorelei’s academic rival — and potential love interest — Sylvia von Wolff is the only person she’s sure isn’t guilty of the crime. The two of them must race to find the spring before the murderer strikes again. And it sounds like human threats won’t be the only ones they deal with in this upcoming fantasy release. For fans of adventure stories, A Dark and Drowning Tide is the perfect pick-up this September. It has all the makings of a gripping and fun ride.
2 Wrath Of The Triple Goddess By Rick Riordan
Release Date: September 24, 2024
A new Percy Jackson book is always cause for celebration, and Rick Riordan will continue to explore Percy’s senior year of high school in Wrath of the Triple Goddess. The seventh installment of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, Wrath of the Triple Goddess serves as a direct sequel to 2023’s The Chalice of the Gods. These recent additions to the series pick up with Percy trying to land a spot at New Rome University after graduation. To do so, he must go on three quests to get three letters of recommendation from the Greek gods.
After finding Ganymede’s chalice in the prior book, Percy will now embark on a quest for Hectate in Wrath of the Triple Goddess. It should be relatively easy; Hectate just wants Percy to watch her pets Hecuba and Gale for a week. But as you’d expect from a Percy Jackson novel, things go awry, and Hecuba and Gale run away. Percy and his friends must track them down before Hectate returns — or getting into college will be the least of Percy’s worries. Riordan’s latest sounds fun and fresh, and it’s sure to be a hit when it arrives this September.

1 A Fire In The Sky By Sophie Jordan
Release Date: September 24, 2024
Sophie Jordan is publishing a new book set in the world of her Firelight series, and this one will be an adult romantasy novel. An ideal Fourth Wing replacement in the lead-up to Onyx Storm, A Fire in the Sky opens as dragons are extinct, magic is disappearing, and witches are being pushed out of Penterra. The novel follows Tamsyn, who serves as a “whipping girl” in the palace. When Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands, threatens her home, Tamsyn is ordered to deceive him and marry him in lieu of one of the princesses.
Tamsyn’s deception doesn’t last long, and Fell soon uncovers who she truly is. Although he keeps her as his bride, Tamsyn is hiding more secrets from her new husband — ones concerning magic, which could be far deadlier than her previous lies. A Fire in the Sky will chronicle her journey, which may lead her to a far bigger destiny than she anticipates. Jordan’s latest will be one of the biggest fantasy books to arrive this September, especially with its promise of dragons and emphasis on romance.
