Our Rogue Fates Release Bash with Sarah Glenn Marsh

On the hunt for hidden treasure, two former best friends turned adversaries must put the past behind them if they hope to make it home.

Join us in celebrating the release of Our Rogue Fates with Sarah Glenn Marsh, where betrayal, broken blades, and long-buried feelings take center stage.

Alongside writers Katie Abdou and Aleese Lin, hear Sarah talk romantasy heat, second chances, shadowy forces stalking the path to redemption, and why sometimes the real treasure is confronting the feelings you swore were dead. 

In Our Rogue Fates, former best friends (now professional grudge-holders) Griff Sayer and Mal Pryce are forced back together after a job gone spectacularly wrong leaves Griff near death and Mal racing to fix it. With just four weeks to retrieve an ancient treasure from the ghost-haunted Rotrose Mire, Mal sets off armed with a map, a broken blade, one very reluctant Griff, their old friend Alys—and a whole swamp’s worth of unresolved tension. 

Tickets include your very own hardcover copy of Our Rogue Fates! Stick around for the signature and salutations portion of the evening, guests are welcome to bring the authors’ other books from home to have signed.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Sarah Glenn Marsh has been an avid fantasy reader since the day her dad handed her a copy of The Hobbit and promised it would change her life. She believes we all deserve happy endings and is an author of books for everyone, including many young adult, middle grade, and picture book titles. She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her family, including one sweet daughter, one slightly dull sword, and the chaos of many pets, like a turtle named Muffin who she definitely did not bring back from any haunted swamp. Our Rogue Fates is her first adult novel.

ABOUT THE CONVERSATION PARTNER

Katie Abdou primarily writes historical Young Adult books, leaning into fantasy and adventure more than anything else. Her dream is for her books to be a safe place for teens and young adults to find representation and to understand the experiences of trauma, hardship, romance, and adventure through her characters within the safety of fiction. Katie is represented by Keir Alekseii of Azantian Literary Agency.

Katie's debut novel A Prince Among Pirates publishes June 16th, 2026 with Atheneum.
