Willow Taylor's romantasy Reign Of Sorrow now has a cover, revealed on 15 September through a reveal blast run by the author-influencer agency Hayling Bookstorm Ltd. The book is scheduled for release day on November 10, 2026, and the ebook is already listed for preorder on Amazon.

What is Reign Of Sorrow about?

Reign Of Sorrow is told in two voices. Elora has returned to a palace she once fled, now heavy with mourning and expectation: "They look at me like I already belong to the throne. I don't. I belong to books. To forgotten corners. To the girl I was before sorrow demanded more."

The second voice belongs to Riven, who has guarded the palace walls his entire life. "Stone is simple. Duty is simple. Elora never was," he says in the blurb released by Hayling Bookstorm Ltd. "They see a future queen. I see the girl who learned to hide her heart between pages."

Hayling Bookstorm Ltd. bills Reign Of Sorrow as romantasy and lists its tropes as protective MMC, forbidden love, one horse, brother's best friend, age gap and one bed.

When does Reign Of Sorrow come out?

Reign Of Sorrow has a release day of November 10, 2026, according to the cover reveal material from Hayling Bookstorm Ltd.

The ebook edition of Reign Of Sorrow can be preordered on Amazon ahead of that date. No print details, page count or price were given in the announcement.

What does the cover look like?

The Reign Of Sorrow cover shows a moonlit garden view framed by a stone arch, with trailing wisteria and white lilies edging a pale path that winds through dark green grounds. The title sits in cream lettering at the top, with Willow Taylor's name on a plinth at the foot of the design.

The reveal artwork was shared as an e-reader mockup, in keeping with the ebook preorder now live on Amazon.
