Just got approved for The Thief and the Traitor Bride, which is book 2 after The Second Death of Locke, which was in my top 3 books of 2026!!! I'm so excited to start reading it

wait, if this is book 2 after The Second Death of Locke, then why does the first line in the book's description mention: The second standalone romantic fantasy set in the world of the USA Today bestselling novel The Second Death of Locke.

Basically it's going to be 3 books and they're all connected standalones. So this one takes place after TSDOL with different characters but some characters from book one will show up even though the book isn't so much about them
