Six of Crows: A Darker Shore, Letters from Ketterdam
Six of Crows: A Darker Shore, Letters from Ketterdam brings readers back to the world of the Grishaverse with a new short story set after the events of Crooked Kingdom.
This release is described as a mystery told through found documents, private correspondence, and collected evidence. The story follows investigators trying to uncover the truth behind a massacre on an island off the shores of Ketterdam. Among the evidence is private correspondence between Kaz Brekker and an anonymous sailor aboard the Wraith known only as “I.”
For fans of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, this release offers a new way to revisit Ketterdam, the Wraith, and the aftermath of the events that changed the city’s criminal underworld. It also includes new illustrations by E.K. Belsher, original music composed by E. Aaron Wilson, and in-world collectible items.
This could be one of the most interesting 2026 releases for Grishaverse collectors and readers who have been waiting for more from the world of Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, and the Dregs.
Dead Beat: Ninth House #3
Dead Beat is the highly anticipated third book in Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House trilogy and is described as the explosive conclusion to the series.
The story continues Alex Stern’s journey after surviving hell more than once — but this time, the door has been left open. Demons are moving through New Haven and the Yale campus, threatening the living and the dead. Alex and her allies must confront the secrets of Yale, the societies, the Lethe Board, and the darkness tied to Alex’s own blood.
The book also brings back key characters including Dawes, Turner, Mercy, Tripp, and Darlington, who returns in the flesh with dangerous powers of his own. For readers who follow dark academia, secret societies, demons, magic, and supernatural suspense, Dead Beat is one of Leigh Bardugo’s biggest upcoming releases.
With both hardcover and audiobook CD formats listed for September 15, 2026, this is a major title for Ninth House and Hell Bent readers to keep on their radar.
