Book Five, Queen of Thorns, was released on Friday September 26th, 2025 in e-book, hardcover, and paperback formats!

Book cover for Queen of Thorns by Joel C. Flanagan-Grannemann. Across the top is a banner announcing "Book Five of Servants of the Moon and Sun" in a clean silvery white font. Against a deep red background with ominous dark thorny trees and fog, an armored knight dressed all in black and wearing a silver helm and breastplate rides a black horse, which is also armored at the head and body. The knight holds a crossbow loaded with a bright silver bolt in his right hand. The book's title is placed under the mounted knight in large silver letters in a fantasy font with thorn serifs. The author's name is centered below that over two lines in a smaller clean silvery white font.
