coming Winter 2027

Janine O’Malley at Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) has acquired three new books from Forbes 30 under 30 honoree and #1 New York Times-bestselling author Hafsah Faizal, in a seven figure deal, including one duology and one standalone. The first book in the sparkling new duology, Blade of Honey follows a girl who cons her way into a coveted invitation to the Bride Trials: a competition in the dazzling palace where the prize is the king’s hand in marriage—but she doesn’t want to be queen. She wants to drive a dagger through his heart. The first book in the duology is set to publish in winter 2027. Josh Adams at Adams Literary coordinated the deal and sold World English rights.
