Shadow Reaper brings Lynette Noni's new romantasy hunt to shelves
Lynette Noni's Shadow Reaper published on June 2, 2026 from Disney Hyperion, launching a YA romantasy about magic, reapers, and a dangerous shadowsweeper hunt.
Lynette Noni's Shadow Reaper is out now from Disney Hyperion, giving YA fantasy readers a new romantasy built around stolen magic, a dangerous hunt, and a heroine chasing a brutal job in a world of Reapers. Penguin Random House lists the hardcover for June 2, 2026, with a 400-page edition and a publisher pitch aimed at
readers of Powerless and Defy the Night . That makes it a clean release-week pick for readers looking for fantasy stakes, romance tension, and a new magic system to follow. What the publisher confirms Shadow Reaper follows Kiana, who lives in a world where everyone carries magic called orena. Her goal is to become a
shadowsweeper, one of the people sent to confront Reapers after they steal magic and leave destruction behind. The official setup puts Kiana's best friend Corryn close to that danger and pushes Kiana toward the Hunt, a high-risk path that promises the chance to prove herself against the threat at the center of the
book. Disney Hyperion is publishing the novel in hardcover, with the Penguin Random House listing confirming the release date, format, page count, and retail details. Why fantasy readers should notice The publisher frames Shadow Reaper as a swoony, action-packed romantasy, but the hook is more specific than a broad
genre label. The shadowsweeper role gives the story a clear fantasy job, the Reapers give it a visible threat, and the orena system gives the romantic and survival stakes a magical pressure point. That combination should appeal to readers who want their romantasy to move quickly without dropping the worldbuilding. It
is also arriving during a busy stretch for YA and crossover fantasy, where a strong one-book premise can stand out if the central hunt has enough momentum. What is available now The hardcover edition is listed by Penguin Random House now, with Disney Hyperion as publisher. Readers planning their June fantasy shelves
can check the official listing for format, price, and availability details.
