Today on the site I’m delighted to reveal the cover of The Third Wish by T.E. Forest, a suspenseful New Adult Urban Fantasy with a polyam romance between gay, pan, and demi-romantic gray-ace MCs releasing from Hamley Books on September 16, 2026! Here’s the story:
In a magical hotel that hosts a yearly competition, three desperate people have entered to earn a shot at winning the grand prize: a wish. But when the competition turns deadly, the mysterious hotel manager Vana puts them into teams, forcing them to work together.
A bitter rivalry that may turn into something more.
But a wish is not a prize to give up easily, and Day, Silas and Kayleigh soon find themselves at a crossroads. What will they give up to win … and will it be worth the cost?
For fans of Squid Game and The Hunger Games, who were desperate for more kissing, The Third Wish is an urban New Adult adventure story that will stay with you for some time to come.
And here’s the dreamy cover by DesignsbyLotte!
