We check publisher pages, author sites, and official retailer listings before treating a release as confirmed. If sources disagree, the safest verified date wins.
This calendar includes fantasy romance, sequels, companions, new series launches, and selected novellas where the romance is important to the reading experience.
Inclusion is editorial, not a quality ranking. A book can be here because readers care about the date, the series position, or the romantasy fit.
