The Best New Science Fiction and Fantasy Books Out in July 2025
The Bloodless Queen by Joshua Phillip Johnson (DAW, July 8)In this dark fantasy debut partly inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice, half of the world is turned into nature reserves, known as the Harbors. To celebrate this achievement, the world leaders throw a party on the autumnal equinox. But instead of celebrations, all the people who were going to die that day turn into evil fae, cause deadly chaos, and then disappear into the Harbors. This becomes a regular occurrence every year on the autumnal equinox. Evangeline and Calidore work mending and guarding the fences of the Harbors that keep the fae in, until one year, they are pulled into a conspiracy that threatens to expose the truth behind the Harbors. |
