THE DREADFORGED:
Book Three of The Forge’s Requiem Trilogy
by S. M. Grey - April 2026
Book three launch date, let’s gooo!
THE DREADFORGED: Book Three of The Forge’s Requiem Trilogy will be available Friday, 08 May 2026 in both e-book and paperback formats.
The Coreminds break their shackles, and Altrameda must strike them down before the rest of the Forgeborne fall under their destructive influence.
… but that doesn’t mean it’s over.
The Forge’s Requiem Trilogy is the start of a larger project. It’s been 10+ years of worldbuilding and drafting, and there’s still heaps to explore in the setting (and I’m not ready to bid farewell to the characters just yet).
That is to say: I’ve got a collection of short stories rolling, set in the 21st century / three-hundred years before the events of The Stormforged. Each story features at least one character that appears in the main books. I’m also about 45k words deep into the next full-length novel which, at this stage, alternates between the perspectives of a human and a machine. Keen readers might be able to guess who the new Stormforged will be - but it’s not the obvious one, I swear.
Writing a human perspective is so strange, by the way. I got used to a character with no facial expressions or organs. Breathing? A sense of smell? Wild stuff.
Also, I have a proper newsletter set up now. The first short story from the upcoming collection is included in the welcome e-mail. :)
Future Plans
I’ll have in-person event news to share soon!
But for now, we’ve got the end of the trilogy to look foward to. Here’s to Altrameda, Rhys, and the rest of the crew. 🥂
Until next time,
Grey
