HarperVoyager has announced a sequel to Sarah A Parker’s When the Moon Hatched in the same week as the novel hits number one for the second time on the Sunday Times hardback bestseller chart.
The sequel, The Ballad of Falling Dragons, will be published on 7th October 2025.
Since it was released in mid-June, When the Moon Hatched has hit the Sunday Times bestseller spot twice and spent seven consecutive weeks in the top 10 hardback bestseller chart.
Rachel Winterbottom, publishing director at HarperVoyager and Magpie Books, said: "When the Moon Hatched has truly been an out-of-this world phenomenon from the start. With an unmissable campaign that reached for the stars and astronomical support from readers and booksellers across the world—from sold-out special editions to stellar displays—this series launch has gone supernova. We are over the moon to see Sarah’s stunning book continuing to soar high in the charts."
Parker said: "I’m so honoured by the incredible response When the Moon Hatched hardback has received! To see it on the Sunday Times bestseller list seven weeks in a row is something out of a dream. I could not be more proud of my amazing team at HarperVoyager, and am forever thankful to the booksellers and my readers for loving these characters and this world with the same gusto as I do."
