The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin

In a world where the moon shattered and the strong devoured the weak, Neoma Solstice is nothing. A scentless Null. A ghost. A mistake. Until the day she saves a dying Lycan warrior with a touch, and her secret is revealed: she's Void-Born, the rarest mutation in existence. The same power that makes her invisible makes her invaluable—a living weapon that can cure the incurable Feral Rot plaguing the Lycan Ascendancy. Captured and collared, Neoma is forced to serve as "Tether" to Unit Vanguard: four elite soldiers on the brink of madness. Barzil, the ruthless Commander who sees her as a mission. Wolfy, the cold Tactician who sees her as a puzzle. Viggo, the feral Berserker who sees her as salvation. Guller, the fallen Priest who sees her as redemption. They own her contract. They control her life. They swear she's just a tool. But tools don't make their masters kneel. As Neoma's power grows, so does the threat she poses to the regime that enslaved her. When the prophesied Blood Moon rises, she'll have to choose: remain the Ascendancy's battery, or become the Void that devours them whole. Some bonds are forged in blood. Some in magic. Theirs was forged in desperation—and it might be the only thing strong enough to save a dying world. The Obsidian Covenant is a dark dystopian reverse harem romance featuring a morally gray FMC, four obsessive MLs, found family dynamics, enemies-to-lovers, rejected mate redemption, and a slow-burn that explodes into high heat.

Does Naomi Novik have any upcoming book releases?

3 Answers2025-07-17 06:33:02
especially after falling in love with her 'Scholomance' series. As far as I know, she hasn't officially announced any new book releases beyond 'The Golden Enclaves,' which came out in 2022. But given her prolific writing history, I wouldn't be surprised if she's quietly working on something new. Her 'Temeraire' series and standalone like 'Uprooted' show she's always exploring fresh ideas. I check her social media and publisher updates regularly for hints, and I recommend fans do the same. The moment she drops news, the fantasy community will explode with excitement.

Are there any upcoming Naomi Novik books scheduled for release?

3 Answers2026-07-12 04:33:44
Oh, that's a question I've been checking on way too often! From what I've gathered, there's nothing with a formal release date just yet. Her last big series was the 'Scholomance' trilogy, which wrapped up with 'The Golden Enclaves' a couple years back. She's usually not the fastest writer out there, but the payoff is always worth the wait.

There are some whispers and a few hopeful mentions in interviews. Back in 2023, she mentioned working on something new, possibly a standalone or the start of another series. I wouldn't expect it this year, honestly. If I had to guess, maybe we'll get an announcement late this year or early next for something in 2025. Until then, I'm just rereading 'Spinning Silver' for the fourth time.

What is the chronological order of Naomi Novik books series?

Honestly, I've seen people get tripped up by this because she's written both standalones and series that cross genres. The real chronological order based on publication is: 'His Majesty's Dragon' (2006) starts Temeraire, which is nine books long and wrapped up in 2016. Her standalone fairy-tale retellings—'Uprooted' (2015), then 'Spinning Silver' (2018)—came out during and after that series. The Scholomance trilogy ('A Deadly Education', 'The Last Graduate', 'The Golden Enclaves') is her latest, from 2020 to 2022.

But if you mean story chronology within her worlds, they're all separate except the series themselves. Temeraire has its own internal timeline across the Napoleonic Wars. Scholomance is linear across the three books. The fairy-tale books aren't connected to each other at all. Reading in publication order lets you see how her style evolved from historical fantasy with dragons to those gorgeous, darker fairy tales and then into that brilliantly vicious magic-school setting. I'd maybe suggest bouncing between series if you want variety, but for a straight line, start with Temeraire.

What are the most popular Naomi Novik books to start with?

Anyone asking about starting Naomi Novik is probably looking for a door into that specific blend of mythic logic and practical chaos she does so well. A lot of people will tell you 'Uprooted' and it's not a bad choice, but it can feel a bit... dense as an entry point. The opening chapters are deliberately claustrophobic.

I'd actually nudge someone toward 'Spinning Silver' first. The structure, with its multiple narrators shifting between mortal and magical worlds, gives you a faster sense of her range. You see how she handles different voices, how she weaves multiple fairy tale threads together, and the stakes feel immediate. It's also slightly more thematically complex, which is a better litmus test for whether you'll jive with her other work.

If you bounce hard off 'Spinning Silver,' her earlier 'Temeraire' series is a totally different beast but maybe a safer bet for a history nerd with a dragon-shaped hole in their heart.

If somebody tossed me 'Uprooted' a few years back and told me it was a standalone fairy tale retelling with a dark forest and a grumpy wizard, I might've shrugged. But that book completely reshaped how I see fantasy. The prose has this tactile quality—you feel the bark of the trees, the scratch of wool, the claustrophobia of the valley. It's less about epic battles and more about the quiet, terrifying magic woven into everyday life. The dynamic between Agnieszka and the Dragon is so wonderfully antagonistic and then... not. It's a perfect gateway because it shows Novik's core strength: taking a familiar skeleton and breathing astonishing, organic life into it.

From there, I'd jump straight into 'Spinning Silver'. It takes that fairytale feeling and layers in multiple perspectives and a much more intricate economic magic system. Rantha's journey from being a moneylender's daughter to essentially bargaining with frost kings over the value of cold itself is genius. It feels bigger in scope than 'Uprooted' but just as personal. After those two, if you're hooked on her narrative voice, the Scholomance series ('A Deadly Education') is a wild, ruthless, and hilarious pivot into a magical-school survival horror. Just be ready for a protagonist who'd probably set the Dragon's tower on fire out of spite.

Where can I read Naomi Novik books for free online?

I’ve been obsessed with Naomi Novik’s books ever since I stumbled upon 'Uprooted'—her prose feels like stepping into a fairy tale with teeth. While I totally get wanting to read her work for free, it’s tricky because her books are under copyright, and most legal platforms don’t offer them for free. That said, some libraries have digital lending services like OverDrive or Libby where you can borrow e-books or audiobooks legally. You just need a library card, which is usually free to get. I’ve also seen occasional giveaways or promotions on sites like Tor.com, where publishers sometimes offer free excerpts or even full books for a limited time.

If you’re into audiobooks, Audible occasionally lets you claim a free title as part of a trial, and Novik’s works pop up there. Scribd’s subscription model might also be worth checking out—it’s not free, but it’s cheaper than buying each book individually. Honestly, though, supporting authors directly by purchasing their books or requesting library copies helps keep them writing. Novik’s stories are so rich and immersive—they’re worth every penny.

Naomi Novik's novels are some of my absolute favorites to get lost in, especially her 'Temeraire' series and standalone gems like 'Uprooted' and 'Spinning Silver.' If you're looking to read them online, there are a few legit ways to go about it. First, check out platforms like Kindle or Google Play Books—they often have her works available for purchase or sometimes even as part of subscription services like Kindle Unlimited. I’ve snagged a few of her books there during sales, and it’s super convenient if you prefer reading on an e-reader or tablet.

Another great option is your local library’s digital lending service, like Libby or OverDrive. I’ve borrowed 'A Deadly Education' this way, and it’s a fantastic way to read her books without spending a dime. Just need a library card, and you’re good to go. Some libraries even have audiobook versions, which are perfect if you’re into immersive storytelling while multitasking. If you’re into subscriptions, Scribd also has a solid collection of her works, and their monthly fee gives you access to tons of other titles too. Whatever route you pick, diving into Novik’s worlds is always worth it—her blend of fantasy and folklore is just chef’s kiss.
