Tomorrowland, known globally for their larger-than-life themed music festivals and organiser of the second biggest social media live entertainment event in the world after the Olympics, have penned a fantasy trilogy to bring the unique magic of the festival alive in story form, together with their core values of unity, hope, love and nature.
Teaming up with genre publishing experts Black Crow, they will be working on building their brand in the publishing sphere, working closely with booksellers, influencers and readers who love fantasy fiction.
After years of world-building and storytelling, Tomorrowland (which sees over 450,000 attendees across two weekends and sells out within minutes) is now delving into its rich lore to bring its fiction from the festival grounds to bookshops worldwide.

Building on the success of previous festival tie-ins, the Book Of Wisdom, trilogy marks a global collaboration with publishers everywhere, allowing readers around the world to explore the Tomorrowland universe like never before. This stunning new portal fantasy starts with a band of heroes who must defeat a malevolent enemy bent on destroying the openness, love, and creativity that sustain their many realms.
The Book of Wisdom trilogy is said to be perfect for fans of The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin and Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn, with NYT bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst describing the series as ‘Irresistibly imaginative! An epic tale full of hope and light and wonder, with a magnificent magical library at its heart! You’re in for a treat!’.
The Great Library of Tomorrow, book 1 in the trilogy, is out now in hardback, audio and eBook, with the paperback scheduled for September, just ahead of the November release of the sequel, The Sky of Sacrifice.
Wanting to bring their world to as many readers as possible, Tomorrowland has said it will be focusing on unique events over the next year, both with out-of-this-world immersive activation experiences at conventions, and authorless community-building bookstore events across the UK and US, to intimate influencer retreats set in stunning nature with firelit readalongs, garden walks and relaxing group classes. Media and bookseller partnerships are being explored, including unmissable giveaways with their UNITY partnership this year at The Sphere in Las Vegas.
Tomorrowland Fiction is developed and written by Tomorrowland’s creative and editorial team, including diverse international talent, delivering stories set in magical worlds for adult readers to enjoy. As well as the novels, Tomorrowland Fiction is planning more literary and creative adventures, including comic books tied to the Tomorrowland universe and screen adaptations.
The festival tie-in standalone books all tell the origin story of each of Tomorrowland’s themes and the linked fantasy realm. The trilogy is a portal fantasy series taking place in the present, in different realms that are all part of the Tomorrowland universe.
