Nice things come in threes, so here are three trilogies that are concluding with their final book in 2025.
Megan Bannen’s Hart and Mercy series is an interconnected, standalone trilogy, full of magical and western themes. Mercy is one of the many undertakers for her father’s business, Birdsall & Son, in the town of Eternity. Hart is a marshal patrolling the magical and strange wilds of Tanria. They both seem to not hold a lot of patience for one another. But when they both start receiving letters from “A Friend” and having someone to confide in, they realize that there might be more to each other than they originally thought.
Twyla and Frank have been Tanrian Marshals for eight years now, best friends for even longer. But when a nefarious plot is uncovered in Tanria that they need to investigate, it leads to complications – even with their friendship – something that Twyla is now realizing could be an all or nothing kind of love.
Adam is the doctor to the town of Eternity, but he seems to know more about what’s happening in Tanria than what he’s letting on. Rosie is an immortal demigod who’s lived so long that nothing should be surprising her anymore, so why is Dr. Adam and his portals and his knowledge of the mist surprising her?
Liana De la Rosa’s Luna Sisters Series is a historical romance trilogy following three heiresses as they are secreted away to London during the French occupation of Mexico. Ana María is the ever-dutiful daughter, the perfect niece, and the best representative for the Luna families. She’s in London to keep her sisters and herself safe, but she doesn’t feel like being safe when Mr. Gideon Fox keeps giving her his attentions. Gideon has to keep reminding himself of his goal in Parliament – to abolish the Atlantic slave trade – and that Ana María is just a distraction. But when Ana María is in need of a gentleman’s aid, Gideon knows he must help Ana María (and her sisters).
Isabel always considers herself as the wallflower, the forgettable Luna sister. Which works well for Isabel as she sneaks away from societies get-togethers to find information that she can send back to Mexico to help with the French occupation. But Isabel isn’t as forgettable as she thinks she is, as she accidentally continues to cross paths with Captain Sirius Dawson. After one too many times, Isabel and Sirius use their powers of sleuthing in order to help with their own agendas, and if they allow their attraction to be known – that’s just a perk of the job.
Gabriela – the youngest, prettiest, and most rebellious of the three sisters, is ready for her freedom. As she whisks away to her homeland, she finds herself in trouble and in need of aid. In steps Sebastian Brooks, Duke of Whitfield.
A.K. Mulford’s Golden Court trilogy is a whimsical blend of high fantasy, adventure, love, and self-discovery. The first book follows Calla, a wolf shifter in hiding, and their fight to save their kingdom and to figure out who they are outside of their twin sister.
Book two continues with Calla finding their footing while butting heads with the Ice Wolf Pack, but we also see Sadie’s POV’s as she struggles with where she fits in the new Golden Court and her travels across the land of Aotreas.
Book three seems to be from the POV of Briar, Calla’s twin sister, as she is in the middle of enemy territory with struggles of her own as Calla must figure out how to navigate a war to save themselves, their sister, and their people.
