Recs if you like Mayhem and the Mortal...

Here are some fantasy novels with black FMCs!

a collection of books im interested in which are releasing this year (2026). no particular order

For those who want to be seen in fantasy stories too

Honestly shocked that this list hasn't been made already?? I'm not an expert by any means, just an enthusiast. Focusing primarily on second world & portal fantasy for this list!

Fantasy Romance and Romantasy are two different genres, but I enjoy them all the same. This list is full of books from both genres, ranging from YA to extra spicy. Recommendations always welcome!
