HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We have some exciting new acquisitions to announce so keep your eyes peeled over the next few months! And hopefully you’ve heard the news that the wonderful India Holton is moving publishers to join Arcadia in 2027! We have three books to look forward to, two cosies in the style of her current novels, and (drumroll, please), a new direction for her: a romantic folk-horror/Gothic with magical overtones. We will definitely have more exciting news to share soon, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, what can you look forward to from Arcadia in 2026?

Well, February’s a big month for us. David Hair’s Talmont Trilogy will come to its thrilling conclusion with The Falling Sky; if you’ve been waiting till the trilogy is fully published to start it, The Burning Land and The Drowning Sea are available at good bookstores everywhere…

We’ll also be reissuing new editions of Nick Cutter’s classic horror novels The Troop and The Deep with new covers, so if you haven’t yet treated yourself to Nick’s brand of gooey horror, you’re in luck.

February also the month we launch Kate Golden’s new series, Harker Academy, into the world with Half City. If you love Buffy The Vampire Slayer and the Scholomance trilogy (with a hint of The Raven Scholar) then you won’t want to miss this. And best of all, as with the Sacred Stones trilogy, the Harker novels will be publishing every six months, so you won’t have to wait a year at a time to find out what happens next.

Our best bookish wishes for 2026!
