Mortal Things by Marie Lu (Pre-order Oct. 27, 2026)

An epic romantasy where immortal gods, deadly rivalries, forbidden love, and dark magic collide in a breathtaking fantasy adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu.

The gods chose her. Now she must decide who—and what—is worth saving.

From bestselling author Marie Lu comes Mortal Things, a sweeping fantasy filled with immortal deities, dangerous magic, enemies-to-lovers romance, and a battle that could reshape both the human and divine worlds.

Rose Lin Fairchild never believed in gods—until the ruthless god of Death claimed her as his Harbinger, a mortal warrior bound to carry out his every command. She despises Raven for the curse that binds them together, but serving him is the only way to keep her closest friend alive.

Everything changes when a shocking murder shakes the immortal realm.

Suddenly named Raven's heir, Rose is thrust into the center of a deadly contest among the gods. To earn her freedom and save the person she loves, she must prove herself worthy of ascension. Standing in her way is Étienne Beauchard—a charming, razor-witted Harbinger assigned to test her strength, loyalty, and resolve.

What begins as fierce rivalry quickly ignites into undeniable attraction.

As Rose and Étienne uncover hidden conspiracies, ancient betrayals, and long-buried secrets among the immortals, they realize the gods' world is on the brink of war. With kingdoms unraveling and divine powers colliding, they must choose between duty and desire before everything they know is consumed by darkness.

Filled with unforgettable characters, cinematic world-building, breathtaking romance, and pulse-pounding action, Mortal Things is an irresistible fantasy about sacrifice, destiny, and the extraordinary lengths we'll go to for the people we love.
