Acquisition Announcement: THE BOOK OF FALLEN LEAVES by A. S. Tamaki

We are so thrilled to have acquired A. S. Tamaki’s debut novel, The Book of Fallen Leaves.

Publishing in April 2026, The Book of Fallen Leaves is a fantasy retelling of 900-year-old Japanese samurai saga The Tale of the Heike, following two friends—one the heir to a disgraced warrior clan, the other a lowly servant—who form an unlikely friendship as civil war throws their land into chaos.

Combining authentic worldbuilding with thrilling action and vicious intrigue, and then adding a dynamic cast of heroes and villains, gods and monsters, this is a superb epic fantasy that will hold huge appeal for fans of The Poppy War, She Who Became the Sun, The City of Brass, and Shogun.
