What Darkness Brings

ICYMI, I released a new romantasy at the end of May. What Darkness Brings is a romantasy about an elven woman who can wield death magic. She’s assigned to track down an exiled threat on the coast and use her powers against him, but…he’s been expecting her.

It’s out now in paperback, hardcover, and KU. And don't worry, the second book IS coming, which will conclude the duology. I’m just waiting on a few things before announcing the release date.

★★★★★ - What Darkness Brings is the romantasy I didn’t know I’d been waiting for. Jenna Wolfhart has built a world so richly imagined and achingly bleak, a starless sky, dead gods, and magic strangled by a controlling Order, that from the very first page, I was completely, helplessly consumed. - Goodreads reviewer

★★★★★ - Did I finish this book, or did it finish me?!? I. Am. Deceased. - Goodreads reviewer

★★★★★ - This book is enthralling, compelling, heartbreaking as much as it is heartwarming, and utterly consumable. - Goodreads reviewer

★★★★★ - What Darkness Brings was haunting, emotional, romantic, emotionally intense and completely consumed me. - Goodreads reviewer

★★★★★ - What Darkness Brings is EXACTLY the kind of epic fantasy I live for, and I am absolutely feral over this book right now. - Goodreads reviewer

Forsaken Crown

I’m so, so excited we’re only a little over 4 months away from the release of my first traditionally published book! Forsaken Crown is out January 5th with Red Tower Books in the US and January 7th with Penguin Michael Joseph in the UK.

What’s it about? Trapped in a labyrinth with the emperor’s cruel son, a girl races to find a legendary all-powerful crown before he does.

You can add Forsaken Crown on Goodreads or preorder now. (The Goodreads adds really do help, and I appreciate each and every one!)

I’ll be sharing so much more about this book in the coming months. It’s one of my favourite things I’ve ever written.

If you haven’t read Elise Kova’s Arcana Academy series, now is absolutely the time to check it out!

Clara Graysword is Oricalis’s most wanted. Hunted and cornered, not even her mastery of tarot can save her this time . . . until the mysterious Worldkeepers appear. This secretive order may hold the key to changing Clara’s fate. If she dares to trust them.

But the most dangerous alliance of all is one she’s already deeply ensnared within: Prince Kaelis.

Kaelis, second-born prince of Oricalis and headmaster of Arcana Academy, is the one man she can’t escape—maybe she doesn’t want to escape. Ruthless, dangerous, and bound to Clara by destiny and desire, Kaelis tests her heart as much as her loyalty. Together, they grow closer to the most powerful secrets of the tarot . . . and to the truths they both hide that could destroy the passion that they no longer deny.

Hidden in plain sight within Arcana Academy, Clara walks the dagger’s edge. Revelations about Oricalis threaten everything she thought she knew, and every choice she makes is the difference between salvation and ruin.

To change the world, Clara must risk everything—her power, her beliefs, and her heart.

The darkest sins taste the sweetest . . .

When art birthed vicious shadow monsters hungering for those who created it, all forms of creative expression were banned.

But the immortal royals destined to be humanity's salvation have their own monstrous affliction: the need to consume human blood.

Inana's illegal storytelling has turned her fugitive. She has evaded capture so far, continuing to weave tales for the most desperate.

Until a Shadowbane catches one of her performances . . .

Dominic is filled with as much bloodlust as the shadow monsters he hunts, and he needs an artist to summon them. He gives Inana an ultimatum: serve him or he'll claim her bounty.

As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, the greatest risk is the desire growing between them. There's something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.

Whew, I think that’s it for now! I’m deep in writing mode for the sequel to What Darkness Brings, so I better get back to it.

Meanwhile, What Darkness Brings is enjoying a little bump on the Amazon charts. It’s been years since I’ve had a book in the Top 600, and I’m absolutely THRILLED. Thank you so much for reading, sharing, and reviewing. I worked so long and so hard on this story, I poured my absolute heart into it, and I’m ecstatic that it’s finding readers.

To celebrate, I’m sharing some gorgeous character art of Taliesin and Angharad below! This piece of art was done by the incredible @tattah.art on Instagram.

ICYMI, What Darkness Brings is my brand new romantasy about a necromancer sent to use her power against the exiled threat and turn him into her revenant…but he’s been waiting for her. It’s out now in Kindle Unlimited, paperback, and hardcover!

It’s got:

🖤 slow burn

🖤 touch her & die

🖤 found family

🖤 morally gray elves

Get from Amazon

Signed copies

Teaser snippet

As I lift my leg from around his middle, Taliesin cracks open his eyes, gently take my arm, and tugs me back against him.

“If you’re going to be my undoing, at least stay,” he murmurs.

I inhale sharply. His hand snakes around my lower back, holding me flush against him. All the hard planes of his body press against mine, and for one long, torturous moment, I forget what I came here for. The heat of him seeps through every layer between us, warm and solid and devastatingly alive.

I forget the Order. I forget Osian’s face as he backed inside that tent. I forget all of it. All that exists is this beautiful man beneath me.

Well, I better get back to working on the sequel! I hope to share news about its title and release date soon.

Happy reading!!

The ebook is up for preorder and will remain a discounted price of $2.99/£2.99 until release day. And I’m excited to share preorders are now open on my website for signed copies of the paperback and the hardcover. You can check those out here. I’ll be shipping these at the beginning of release week.

**Please note, I’m shipping from the UK so it might take a week or two to reach you if you’re in the US.

Sneak peek

Here’s a little teaser:

In the back corner, a man sits alone, his hooded cloak obscuring most of his face. A nearby candle wavers, then steadies, as a draft sweeps a chill across the room.

His fingers tap against the table in time with the bard’s tune, while the rest of him remains perfectly still. He sits straight-backed, elbows resting on the table, sipping his ale as his gaze moves over the other patrons.

His eyes land on me. Pale and piercing, they chill me to the bone. He cocks his head, the ends of his silver hair falling from his hood and catching the candlelight in an almost otherworldly way. His brow arches in a silent question—or challenge. My stomach tightens.

Silver hair.

For a heartbeat, something cold slices down my spine. This man could match the description the Order gave me for Taliesin Wynn.

But Taliesin is bound to the coast. The wards make sure of that. He can’t be sitting in a roadside inn, drinking ale like any other man. And there’s no sign of a traitor mark on his neck.

It’s not him. It can’t be.

I know I should look away and focus on the other patrons, tomorrow’s journey, anything else. But I’m frozen in my seat.

“Here you are, love.” The innkeeper shifts in front of me, blocking my view of the stranger. She plops a steaming bowl of stew on the table, along with a mug of ale. “I’d avoid that one if I were you.”

“The man in the back?” I murmur quietly, hoping he can’t hear me. When she nods, I ask, “Why? Who is he?”

“Trouble,” she says before walking off.

WHAT DARKNESS BRINGS is out May 29th!

Thanks to everyone who has preordered and shown support for this book. It means the world!

Chat soon,

Jenna

Forsaken Crown, my first traditionally published book and the first in a romantasy duology, will be out on January 5, 2027 with Red Tower in the US and on January 7, 2027 with Penguin Michael Joseph in the UK and Piper in Germany!

What’s it about? Trapped in a labyrinth with the emperor’s cruel son, a girl races to find a legendary all-powerful crown before he does. To say I love these characters and this story would be an understatement. I got the kernel of an idea in 2022 and have been steadily outlining, writing, and editing it since fall 2023. I have poured my heart and soul into this book. I hope you love it as much as I do.

It’s up for preorder now, with the cover reveal coming soon. You can find it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Waterstones, along with many other retailers. The first print run will have absolutely stunning edges. I can’t wait to reveal it.

What Darkness Brings

To add to the excitement, What Darkness Brings is out this month! ICYMI, What Darkness Brings is a romantasy about an elven woman who can wield death magic. She’s sent to track down a powerful exile and use her powers against him, but he’s been waiting for her. It’s got forced proximity, slow burn, touch her & die, and morally grey characters.

The ebook is up for preorder now.

Here’s a little teaser:

I swallow. My throat is dry, but the tingling in my skin makes me feel impossibly alive. As much danger as I’ve faced before, nothing compares to this: staring into the eyes of the most dangerous man in the realm. I could end him with a word, but he could do the same to me.

“I know what you are,” he murmurs. “I’ve seen you in my darkest dreams.”

My lungs freeze, and the world narrows to him. Taliesin Wynn—the unstable, violent exile—leans closer and tucks a windswept strand of hair behind my ear.

“Necromancer,” he breathes. “Commander of the dead.”

I had an absolutely wonderful time at PascifyCon and ApollyCon this past month and am excited about the events coming in the months ahead. I hope to see you there!

Just fill out this form, and you’ll get sent the digital download on release day (to avoid spoilers). There are also some fun little bonuses if we hit certain milestones along the way. I have no idea if these are too ambitious or not, but it’s always worth it to dream big!

This beautiful art was illustrated by Kateryna Viv at The Book Brander, with typography also done by The Book Brander. I first commissioned this cover back in 2022. That’s how long this story has been simmering!

Can’t wait to share more!

If you’ve been following the newsletter for a while, this is Project Villains. It’s got a lot of my favorite things: dangerous magic, a heroine going undercover, lush settings, a mystery of what happened to the world, and a romance that forces the heroine to choose between loyalty and love.

This little art sneak peek is by the very talented millyillus on Instagram & I will reveal the full art soon!

And here’s the blurb!

The gods are dead. The stars have vanished. Now the Order keeps the peace by any means necessary.

I’m one of its most powerful necromancers. My magic unveils the secrets of the dead, but every resurrection steals a piece of my soul. I’ve never questioned my duty. Until now.

My latest mission takes me to the remote coast at the kingdom’s edge. I must find the exiled threat, pose as a helpless damsel, learn his secrets, and turn my power against him. If I succeed, the Order will release my oldest friend from captivity.

But Taliesin Wynn is not the monster I expect.

He says he’s searching for a way to heal our broken sky and rebuild the kingdom, while the Order claims he must die to save it. I want to trust him—and surrender to the irresistible pull between us—though believing him might be the most dangerous choice I can make.

Yet the longer I stay, the more the Order’s reports unravel—and the further my heart falls toward ruin.

Now the Order is coming for us both. I must choose between the only world I’ve ever known…and the man who makes me want to break it.

You can add What Darkness Brings on Goodreads or preorder now.

Can’t wait to share more!

In the meantime, I wanted to share a new piece of artwork I commissioned of Lilia and Ragnar from Brewed in Magic. This was done by the very talented @reddoo.k05 on Instagram.

And that’s, you know, the work. The effort and actual storytelling process. The long hours spent in front of a keyboard, trying to find the best words to shape a book. Sometimes, those words fly. Other times, it feels like you have to drag each and every sentence out of brain sludge, or stare blankly at a whiteboard trying to sort out a plot hole. I love writing so much, but I’d be lying if I said it was always easy.

But that’s what makes it worth it.

These thoughts are rattling around in my brain partially because I managed to make it to the start line of my hybrid race. And I finished, too! I won’t lie, though. It was really, really hard. Training for it was also tough, but the race itself was the hardest fitness-related thing I’ve ever done. By far. Ten stations, including the assault bike, wall balls, burpee broad jumps, walking lunges with a sand bag, sled pull and push, and more. Plus eleven runs in between each one.

Crossing the finish line felt euphoric. And you know why? Because it was hard. Because I put every ounce of my effort into getting there. Months of training, physio appointments, nutrition, etc. The actual journey of that race—and getting to the race—was far more important than the end of it, even though the end felt pretty good!

And it also taught me that stubborn determination can overcome a lot of things: self-doubt, fear, imposter syndrome, and pure exhaustion.

New releases this month

I have another audiobook releasing this month!

Live Fae or Die Trying, the first book in the Paranormal PI Files, releases December 9th from Tantor Media. This is one of my older paranormal romance series, and I’m so thrilled it’s releasing in audio. It’s set in the London fae courts, and I had so much fun writing it! Big shout out to my agent for making this happen.

Works in progress

Project Heir: I’ve finished a big round of edits on this and am currently waiting to hear about next steps.

Project Heir 2: Already drafting book 2 in this series and making progress.

Project Villains: My plan is to finish the second draft of this before Christmas, as long as nothing comes up.

Falling for Fables: There will be a fifth standalone set in this world, but I don’t have a planned release date for this as of now.

And if you missed it, last week I sent out a free short story set in the world of Falling for Fables. It’s called Merry in Magic, and you can download it here.

Thanks for listening to me ramble! I hope you have a fantastic festive month, and I’ll see you in January!

Happy holidays,

Jenna

The second event was MCM London Comic Con, where I spoke on a panel with Ingram Spark and authors Nick Coveney and A.P Beswick. Such a fun day!

Meanwhile, I spent the entire month hard at work on an editorial round for Project Heir. I love this book so much and was giggling, clapping my hands, and admittedly crying at times while I was working on this. More soon on this one!

I also spent the month training for my hybrid fitness race, which is only a couple weeks away now. Unfortunately, my IT band is bothering me a bit, so I’m not entirely sure if I’ll be able to make it to the start line. I’m really cautious about injuries (I want to be doing fitness for as much of my life as I can), so I’ll only race if I’m 100% sure my knee can take it. Fingers crossed. I’ve trained hard for this for nearly 6 months and want to see it through!

And then to round out the month, the morning after handing in edits, I hopped on a plane to Scotland for a weekend watching my CrossFit heroes compete at the Rogue Invitational. So inspiring. I nearly lost my voice from cheering so much.

All in all, one busy month!

New releases this month

I have two audiobook releases in November!

Darkest Fate, book two in the Demons After Dark: Temptation trilogy, released November 4th from Tantor Media.

Hellish Night, book three in the series, is also out this month on November 11th from Tantor Media. This completes this trilogy!

Works in progress

Project Heir: As I mentioned, I just finished a round of edits on this romantasy. More to come soon!

Project Villains: Still working on the second draft for this one. I didn’t make any additional progress in October as all my focus was on Project Heir.

Falling for Fables: There will be a fifth standalone set in this world, but I don’t have a planned release date for this as of now.

Well, that’s it for now! November is looking to be a much quieter month in terms of events and travel, but I’m really looking forward to lots of cozy writing sessions.

Happy reading!

Jenna

I’ve also had a burst of creative energy, so I dusted off my DSLR and restarted my YouTube channel. Short form video on social media is what’s popular these days, but I’ve always been a big fan of longer videos, particularly vlogs. The editing is also so much fun and scratches a creative itch that nothing else does. So I’ve been recording them weekly, kind of day-in-your-life type stuff. If you’re interested in that sort of thing, come say hi! I post new videos every Friday at 3pm BST.

New artwork

A couple weeks ago I commissioned new artwork for Forged by Magic, and I’m blown away by how it turned out! This is from the kitchen scene between Rivelin and Daella and illustrated by the talented Nalou Arts on Instagram.

New releases this month

I’ve got a couple of new audiobook releases this month!

Infernal Games, book two in the Demons After Dark: Covenant trilogy, will be out October 7th from Tantor Media.

Built by Magic is also out this month! The fourth stand-alone in the Falling for Fables series will be releasing on October 14th from Podium Entertainment. Happy reading!

Upcoming events

October 4: Les Halliennales in France, signing at the Éditions du Chat Noir table all day

October 24: MCM London Comic Con, speaking on the Writer’s Block Stage with Ingram Spark at 5-6pm

Works in progress

Still chugging along on my WIPs.

Project Heir: This is my new romantasy, currently in edits. Hoping to share more about this very soon.

Project Villains: Deep into the second draft. The cover for this is stunning!

Project Pumpkin: A witchy rom com that’s currently in the proposal stage.

Falling for Fables: There will be a fifth standalone set in this world, but I don’t have a planned release date for this as of now.

I think that’s all the updates I have for this month! Time to brew another coffee, huddle beneath my blanket, and get back to the words.

Happy reading,

Jenna

Before I get into updates, I wanted to talk about a little something called the power of consistency. But to talk about that, I have to talk about one of my other passions: fitness. About three months ago, I decided to sign up to a challenging competition that I felt would really push me. I’d have to dig deep if I wanted to finish—and when I signed up, I truly wasn’t sure if I COULD finish. But most importantly, I’d really have to train hard.

I love having goals, and having a date written in the calendar really motivates me. And so I wrote myself a training plan, one that would require a consistent effort for six months. I have to show up every week and do my planned sessions.

I’ve been training hard in the gym for years now, but I’ll admit, I’ve struggled with consistency at times. When it was storming outside or I was a little more tired than usual, it was easy to say, “I can skip today. It doesn’t really matter.” And my five days a week plan would turn into three, or even one. But because I so badly want to finish this race, I haven’t been skipping sessions. Not a single one. Five times a week, every week, I’ve been showing up.

And something magical started happening. Little by little, so little I didn’t notice for a while…I started getting better. Running a little faster. Lifting heavier. Hitting PBs after being on a year-long plateau.

I’ve been doing this for three months now (halfway through!), which isn’t even that long in the grand scheme of things, and I can honestly say that this structured consistency has made me feel like I’m the fittest I’ve been in my entire life, and I’m 44 years old. And I feel pretty confident I can finish that race now.

(Of course, I haven’t done it yet. It’s in November. I’ll let you know it goes.)

Okay, but what does this have to do with books?

Everything. Absolutely everything. I’ve often written books in a very stressful way—inconsistently chipping away at it for a long time (3k one day, zero the next, 1k the next and then zero for two more days), then writing a large chunk of it in a short period of time while skimping on sleep and drinking far too much coffee.

This is not ideal! And it doesn’t have to be this way. And so as I’ve been training for this competition and seeing the benefits, I’ve tried to become more consistent with my daily writing, too. I made my daily word count target smaller, which made it feel more doable, which means I’ve been getting it done every day. It also means I’ve had a very productive summer, along with having an actual social life and all without feeling like I can see through time from sleep deprivation.

All of this to say, I’m clearly someone who thrives on routines and plans. Deep down, I’ve always known this about myself, but it’s taken me a while to really get it. All it took was signing up to something that scares me. And if you’re like me, I hope you take this as a sign to aim high and get planning.

New release this month

I’m excited to share that the audiobook for Devilish Deal is releasing this month! It’s narrated by the lovely Madeleine Dauer and will be out tomorrow (September 9th). You can check it out by clicking here. And if you’re on Netgalley, you can grab an early review copy here.

Upcoming events

October 24: MCM London Comic Con, speaking on the Writer’s Block Stage with Ingram Spark at 5-6pm

Works in progress

As I said, I’ve had a productive summer, but unfortunately, I can’t share much about any of my projects quite yet!

Project Heir: This is my new romantasy, currently in edits. Very excited to share more about it very soon.

Project Villains: Made some great progress on this. I realized I made a wrong turn and had to delete some words, but that’s just how these things go sometimes. Getting the story right is what’s most important.

Project Pumpkin: The witchy rom com of my dreams. It’s in the proposal stage, and I’m hoping all the stars will align with this one.

Falling for Fables: There will be a fifth standalone set in this world, but I don’t have a planned release date for this as of now.

Well, that’s it for now. Back into my writing hobbit hole I go. I’ll be back in a month with more musings and updates. In the meantime, happy reading!

Always,

Jenna

It feels like summer is has slipped away from me, but perhaps that’s because the hot, sunny days have been few and far between the last couple of weeks here in England. I love summer. The longer days and warmer weather make me feel alert and energized, which is good for my creativity. Speaking of, I have a few updates to share!

Audiobook releases

The entire Fallen Fae series is now available in audio! I’m so happy with how this turned out. Laura Horowitz is a fantastic narrator and did an incredible job with the story. This series has always held such a special place in my heart, and I’m so glad it’s now accessible for so many more readers. It’s available on Spotify, Audible, Apple Books, and Hoopla Digital.

The first book in the Demons After Dark: Temptation trilogy is also out in audio! Tantor Audio found the perfect duo to narrate in Keeley Darling and Harley Chase, and the second two audiobooks will be releasing soon!

Special editions

I now have the full special edition paperback set of The Mist King series available on my website store. These editions have 3D silver foiling and sprayed edges. Regardless of whether you’re in the UK or US, you should be able to get these with reasonable shipping costs now. Here’s the link!

Project Heir: I’ve spent the past year and a half working on a romantasy I’m so, so excited about. I can’t wait to share more, but this little tease will have to do for now.

Falling for Fables: I get asked about this series the most! Yes, there will be a fifth standalone set in this world. As of now, I don’t have a planned release date for this, but another one is coming.

Project Villains: Another tease, I’m sorry! This is another book I’ve been working on for a while. It has an incredible cover I can’t wait to share, but I’m holding off until I have a firm release date for this, and I have to wait on a few other things before nailing that down.

I’m definitely in my “creating” season, working on a few different things and really just focusing on the work. I also might be sneaking in a few moments here and there to poke at a rom com. Yes, you heard that right. A rom com with a dash of suspense and mystery. Right now, I’m just writing it without any expectations, but maybe it will eventually see the light of day!

And on that note, I better get back to the writing. It’s drizzling, and I have a mug of coffee on my desk and a dog at my feet. Time to get another chapter done.

Have a lovely summer,

Jenna

Who are you?

I’m Jenna Wolfhart, author of romantasy, cozy romantasy, and paranormal romance. Basically, if it has an element of fantasy and some romance, I’ll write it. I’ve been an indie author for the past eight years, although I’m moving hybrid (more on that soon, I hope)! When I’m not writing, I’m usually wandering the countryside with my dogs or training at my local CrossFit gym. I do competitions sometimes but just for fun.

What’s this newsletter for?

Mostly, I use my newsletter to keep readers up-to-date on my upcoming releases, but I also share cover reveals, send out bonus content, and talk about what I’m working on when I can. If you’ve signed up and haven’t received the Forged by Magic bonus epilogue yet, send me a message. I’ll make sure you get it!

How often will you update your newsletter?

Right now, I plan to update on a monthly basis or when I have something newsworthy to share. This could change if I find monthly isn’t enough, but it won’t ever be more than twice a month.

If I’m new to your books, where should I start?

It depends on what you like to read. If you’re in the mood for a stand-alone cozy romance with elves, orcs, and dragons, I recommend starting with Forged by Magic. But if you want an epic romantasy with evil fae kings and a heroine who isn’t afraid to stab things, you might enjoy Of Mist and Shadow. It’s the first book in a completed series.

I also have a fun paranormal romance trilogy about demons and fake dating, set in Manhattan. Devilish Deal is the place to start there.

Do you use AI?

Immediately no. Emphatically no. I do not use GenAI in any part of my creative process (or for anything at all, for that matter). For better or worse, every word, plot point, and idea comes from my brain. I also only work with human cover designers and editors.

Where else can I find you online?

I’m most often on Instagram and TikTok. You can also check out my Shopify for my exclusive special editions.

Happy reading!

Jenna
