Second Sky acquires an urban fantasy series by S.E. Babin

Second Sky will publish two action-packed urban fantasy titles by author S.E. Babin. Commissioning editor Sophie Judge acquired world rights, including audio, with the first title scheduled for publication in August 2026.

In a world where vampires and werewolves cling to a fragile truce, hedgewitch Percy keeps her head down, brewing coffee at Three Little Beans and avoiding supernatural politics… until politics sinks its teeth into her. After a brutal alleyway clash between the charming vampire prime and hunky shifter king, she wakes craving blood and burning under the full moon. Witches are famously immune to being turned—so how is Percy transforming into something impossible for a witch: both? What power is rewriting the rules of her world?

Perfect for fans of Heather G. Harris and Patricia Briggs, this series is a thrilling urban fantasy adventure packed with warring vampires and werewolves and supernatural mystery.

Judge says,
‘I’m so excited to add this gripping urban fantasy series to the Second Sky list. From the very first page, S.E. Babin’s pacey writing grabbed me – witty, addictive, and full of personality – and Percy’s world pulled me in completely. I just can’t stop thinking about these characters!’

Babin says,
‘I’m beyond thrilled to partner with the incredible team at Second Sky and editor Sophie Judge to bring Percy’s story to readers. My snarky urban fantasy about a hedgewitch of dubious origins caught between a vampire prime and shifter king has been living rent-free in my imagination for ages now, and I couldn’t be more excited for this series to find such a passionate and supportive publisher. I can’t wait for readers to experience Percy’s shadowy world of unhinged found family, dangerous alliances, and occasionally inconvenient supernatural side effects.’
