If you like these oddly specific things… you’re actually cooler than everyone, obviously?

Tell me, which of these intrigues you the most? I’m told that my villain is quite compelling, but I wonder if these vibes do them justice… 🤔

Songbird of the Sorrows is out February 3, 2026. She’s dark, romantic, traumatic and the stakes are high.

Isn’t she SO beautiful! The Dial Press have seriously outdone themselves with this one. Just imagine how amazing it’ll look with the gold foiling. 🤤

Raven… unfortunately, much of this male main character remains unknown as even his secrets have secrets.

He’s good with rope and tying knots, though.

🕊️ Ask no questions. Obey your orders. Respect your masters. But most of all, love no one.

Songbird of the Sorrows has had a few little upgrades with the traditionally published rerelease and one of them is the blurb!

You can preorder Songbird of the Sorrows in hardback, trade paperback, and audiobook (US/CA/AUS/NZ)! ✨

Without further ado, here is the updated blurb:

Banished from the Palace of Sorrows as a child, Princess Aella was taken in by the Aviary, a secret intelligence network embedded throughout the Empyrieos that trains orphans as professional spies. Now twenty-three years old, she has finally earned her place as a Songbird on the most elite team of assassins, led by none other than her former flame, Raven. Everything about him calls to her—he’s brave, loyal, and lethal—but their relationship is also the greatest threat to her standing as a Songbird.

Before Aella can untangle her feelings, their team is sent on a dangerous mission to the eastern kingdom. Her role is crucial yet troublesome: Aella must assume her former title of Princess of the Sorrows to compete in a series of bridal trials. But when the trials turn deadly and the mission is threatened, Aella must decide whether to follow orders or defy them.

Songbird of the Sorrows is the first novel in the sweeping, romantic fantasy, Myths of the Empyrieos series, following Aella through an epic journey of self-discovery, true love, redemption, and ultimately a great war that promises to upend the lives of everyone in the realm.

I’ve been holding this in for so long... and now I finally get to say the words: SONGBIRD OF THE SORROWS is being traditionally published.

That indie romantasy about a girl with a secret and a kingdom full of sorrows—Aella’s story—is going to be on bookstore shelves. I can’t believe I just typed that.

Here’s what’s happening:
🕊 @thedialpress will publish SONGBIRD in the US and Canada —as their very first romantasy title.
🕊 @penguinbooksaus will publish it in Australia and New Zealand
🕊In all other territories, I’ll be self-publishing the book, so no matter where you live, the story will still reach you.
🕊For the first time, you’ll be able to listen to SONGBIRD OF THE SORROWS as an audiobook!
🕊The current eBook edition of SONGBIRD is also now available for purchase, so you can read the original story right away!

And YES, the @thedialpress edition is magical:
✨ The original cover design by @catrina_paints lives on
✨ It now has gold foiling and the most gorgeous stenciled edges (peep the bookshot 👀)
✨ I’ve added expanded scenes—more of the world, more of the story, more SONGBIRD!

📅 US/Canada release: Feb 3, 2026
📅 AUS/NZ release: Feb 10, 2026

AND I’m so excited to announce Book 2 in the Myths of the Empyrieos trilogy, DAUGHTER OF THE TEMPEST is coming Fall 2026! It has clocked in at around 165,000 words of storms, secrets, and slow-burn chaos. It’s currently with my editors and I am anxiously awaiting feedback.

If you’ve loved this trilogy from its whisper of a beginning—or if you’re just meeting it now—thank you. Thank you for helping Aella fly. I cannot wait for you to hold this edition.

She’s headed to bookstores!!!! I still can’t believe it.

You can learn more and preorder at the 🔗 in my bio.

With love,
Braidee

I cannot believe I finally get to share this secret: Songbird of the Sorrows is going to be traditionally published!

✨ @thedialpress will publish Songbird of the Sorrows in the US and Canada—as their very first Romantasy title! (Feb 3, 2026)
✨ @penguinbooksaus will publish SOTS in Australia and New Zealand. (Feb 10, 2026)
✨SOTS will be self-published for the rest of the world, so no matter where you live, the story will still reach you. (Feb 3, 2026)
✨And translations are coming to Italy, Germany, Spain, and Poland!

🕊️ The new edition of Songbird of the Sorrows has received a bit of a polish! It will include new and expanded scenes, high tension and stakes, refined pacing, and more yearning.

🏛️ Not only that…
Book 2 in the Myths of the Empyrieos trilogy has a name! Daughter of the Tempest will be coming Fall 2026 (between Sep-Nov for my fellow Aussies).

🤍 This would not have been possible without my incredible agent, Christabel McKinley and the team @davidhighambooks. I couldn’t imagine navigating this new space without having them in my corner!

💫The current, self-published version of the ebook is still available in some territories and will be up until the new release!

I am so incredibly excited about this transition and the wonderful team I am working with to bring you the rest of Aella’s story. This will provide opportunities that would not have been possible as an indie author, and I can’t wait to watch Songbird fly.

As always, thank you to my readers for making this possible. I would not be here without you!

More details are coming! But if you have any questions, let me know in the comments! I’ll be answering them all.

With love,
Braidee

One year since the book that turned my world upside down in the best possible way 🕊️

It’s wild what a single year can hold. You can chase a dream and catch it. Meet people who change your life forever. Write one book, or maybe even two.

Lately, I’ve found myself drawn back into the pages of Songbird of the Sorrows, reliving every heartbeat alongside Aella. Her fear, her fury, and her love. And while I’ve been walking with her again, I’ve been editing and refining the next part of her journey.

Wild things are happening in the realm of The Empyrieos, and I can’t wait to share it with you. But I’m holding onto it a little while longer before passing these pages to my editor. Time to make it everything she deserves. Everything you deserve.

Thank you for being here with me 🤍

“We’ve always had that sort of friendship. The type where if one of us bleeds, the other’s blood spills too.”

Sisterhood isn’t just about laughter and light—it’s about standing side by side when the world turns against you. The kind of bond that feels like fate, the kind that fights, that endures, that bleeds.

Working with @virginiaallyn was a dream come true for me, and she did not disappoint! 🤍

Songbird of the Sorrows is a romantic fantasy set in a world inspired by Greek mythology, and the little details that Gin has managed to portray in this map truly capture the realm 🏛️🕊️

Do you love book dedications?

Songbird of the Sorrows was written for those who feel trapped and long for something more. It’s a haunting melody, an evocative reverie, a tale of sorrow and yearning. To me, this story is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is still hope.

Hello lovely readers 🤍

What are your plans for this weekend?

I’m currently preparing for a solo writing retreat this week! (Shoutout to @kebardenauthor for this brilliant idea). Book two of Myths of the Empyrieos, my debut romantic fantasy series, is begging for my undivided attention, and I’m so excited to be taking a week away from all of the responsibilities and distractions in life to just write.

These past few days I’ve been practicing with writing sprints, and I can’t believe I’ve never tried them before! I’ve always worked so much better under pressure and with a firm deadline, so I’m feeling a bit silly for not considering applying this to my writing 😅 knowing this, I’m so excited to see just how much of Myths II I can write in seven days with zero distractions!

I’m so excited for you to get your hands on the next instalment of Aella’s story!

With that in mind…who wants a title reveal? 👀

Much love,

Braidee 🕊️
