🎤THE ONLY PLACE THE ESPRITHEAN 3 BOOK DETAILS HAVE BEEN REVEALED!

(title, cover, and release date—all first announced in this episode)

In this special Dear Fantasy Author episode, hosts Hannah, Kinsey, and Karly sit down with Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox, co-authors of the Esprithean series, for a two-part interview that blends cozy chaos, craft talk, and major romantasy reveals.

The first portion of the episode is completely spoiler-free and perfect for anyone curious about the Esprithean series. We chat about Riftborne, Duskbound, and the authors' upcoming spinoff series, The Aesymarean Duet. Book one, The Ascended, releases October 7 and takes us even deeper into the magical world of the Esprithean!

Then in the spoiler-filled portion, Bree and Parker share the exclusive reveal of the Esprithean Book 3 title, cover, and release date—officially and exclusively announced here for the very first time!

From writing rituals and character dynamics to worldbuilding choices, co-authoring chemistry, and the emotional arc of the series, this episode dives into everything fans love about the Esprithean universe. And yes, there's unhinged fangirling, speculative theories, and plenty of behind-the-scenes lore!

Rather than a traditional Q&A, this episode leans into a reader-first perspective. The hosts ask the questions romantasy fans are most eager to know—plus a few the authors definitely weren't ready for. Bree and Parker answer with heart, laughter, and a few juicy teases that may just change how you read the entire series.

Whether you're a longtime Esprithean fan or just stepping into this world, this conversation is full of insight, emotions, and early reveals you won't hear anywhere else!
