The Fae Wars is one of J.F. Holmes’s most ambitious and fastest-growing series. Beginning with Onslaught (2021), the series imagines a world where the Fae suddenly appear and wage war on humanity. Modern militaries respond with conventional weapons against magical enemies, and Holmes writes the conflict with the same ground-level military detail that marks all his work.
The Fall (2021) continued the story, followed by Futures Past and Tales From The Occupation (both 2023). The pace picked up further in 2025, with Ghost, Northwest Front, Vendetta, and Relics of Empire all arriving in a single year. Insurgent (2024) sits in the middle of this run. Tales from the Occupation: Volume 2 (2026) is the latest entry, collecting more stories from within the occupied world. The Tales From The Occupation volumes offer side stories and different viewpoints from the main narrative.
