Storm Publishing is delighted to announce that we have signed a third book in the Lost Lake series, the follow-up to multi-million-copy bestselling author Kate Hewitt’s acclaimed novel The Last Stars in the Sky (January 2024) and its sequel The Midnight Hour (January 2025). Vicky Blunden, acting on behalf of Kathryn Taussig (on parental leave), signed World all language rights in ebook, paperback and audio for Where the Dawn Finds Us.

In this powerful and heart-wrenching conclusion to the series, Alex faces her greatest test yet in a reborn but dangerous America. The Last Stars in the Sky hit the Amazon bestseller charts in both the US and UK on publication. Readers have called the series ‘mind-blowing and hard to put down’, ‘heart-breaking, raw and powerful’ and ‘emotionally charged’. 

Hewitt commented,

‘I could not be more thrilled for Storm to be publishing the third book in my Lost Lake series. It’s been wonderful working with my editors Kathryn and Vicky, and the response to the books from readers has been amazing, especially as these books are so close to my heart. I can’t wait to get started on book three!’

Blunden added,

‘We’ve been blown away by the reaction to the first two books in this series; readers have been clamouring for more and will need tissues at the ready for what is sure to be a deeply emotional and gripping reading experience. We can’t wait to see what happens next for Alex and her family, and are so delighted to be continuing to work with Kate.’
