Release Date and Synopsis Announced

Julia Quinn, the renowned author behind the popular "Bridgerton" series, has revealed that the sixth book in her beloved Regency-set novels will focus on Francesca Bridgerton. Scheduled for release on May 12, 2022, the upcoming book promises to dive into the story of the sixth Bridgerton child, who has been a fan-favorite character on the Netflix series.

According to the official announcement, "When He Was Wicked" will center around Francesca's marriage to John Stirling. While she does love him, their love story takes a backseat in the novel. Instead, the book will explore Francesca's inner life and struggles as she navigates her role within the Bridgerton family.

"Francesca is probably the easiest," Quinn said in a recent interview. "She's a very private person, and she's always been a bit of an enigma to me. I think that's what makes her so interesting to write about."

Fans of the "Bridgerton" series can eagerly anticipate the release of "When He Was Wicked" to delve deeper into Francesca's world. The novel promises to offer a captivating and intimate glimpse into the life of one of the most beloved characters from the popular Netflix series.
