The Rise of Northgall began in 2024 with The Wraith King and adds a third fantasy romance series to Juliette Cross’s output from this period, alongside The Fire That Binds. The series is set in a world of warlords and supernatural rulers, with titles like Kings and Bones and The Beast Lord signaling darker, more threatening male leads than the charming wolves and reluctant vampires of her earlier work.
All three books were published between 2024 and 2025, making this a fast-moving series. The tonal shift toward more intense and dangerous love interests aligns with broader trends in fantasy romance during this period, and Cross’s experience writing supernatural conflict across her career gives her a solid foundation for this kind of story.
