Author Rebecca Yarros‘ first novel was published in 2014, and she’s since cemented herself as a cornerstone of the romantasy genre through The Empyrean Series, which includes bestselling novels “Fourth Wing,” “Iron Flame,” and “Onyx Storm.” Expected to be a five-book series, Yarros owes readers two more books, but in the meantime, is tackling a new project: “Peculiar Stars.”

Described as a “slow-burn romance novel about love, family, and what it means to become the truest version of yourself,” it follows the main character Callista as she develops a relationship with her fiancé’s cousin in the aftermath of a tragedy. Priced at $32.99, it is currently available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and will be published by Amazon Publishing’s imprint Montlake on Nov. 17.

The news follows Amazon Prime’s recently announced “Fourth Wing” TV adaptation. Michael B. Jordan will serve as executive producer on the series through his production company, Outlier Society. Other named collaborators include Lisa Joy (co-creator of “Westworld”) and Meredith Averill (co-creator of” Locke & Key”). Yarros is also expected to work closely with the team that is set to bring her books to life.

“Peculiar Stars” will be a standalone book, and Yarros asks readers to meet her back in the real world, temporarily swapping the intensity of Basgiath War College, dragons and military orders for the drama of becoming a castaway alongside ship crew and your romantic interest. The book is now available for preorder online through both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
